As you observed for yourself when you researched the topic there is not a lot of help available, and Asterisk team prefers to make everybody think that SIP is the only viable call setup protocol around. They kind of not talking a lot about their own IAX any more. The official H.323 is abandoned. OOH323 is being supported by a very capable and responsive guy. He does not frequent the user list as he subscribes to the developer list, so I normally transfer the help inquiries to him if there is no traction here. -Vladimir -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
