Ditto. IAX "just seems to work." I know many have had their issues with IAX, but the number of "failure modes" seems smaller than SIP. I have an IAXy that I use occasionally when I travel and it also "just works" regardless of where in the world I plug it in. Supposedly SIP gives better audio quality in some situations. > I've seen situations a few times where IAX2 peers seem to disappear, and > even restarting Asterisk doesn't bring them back - the only fix is to > change bindport to 45691 for about 30 seconds then change it back. > This points to the fact that it's a screwy NAT that causes the problem.

I'd hate to see IAX "deprecated" in the mindset of the Asterisk users. -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards [email protected] Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
