Prior to 0.9.9a, I was never able to establish voice communication. The phone registered, would dial extensions, would ring on incoming calls - just no audio stream. However, with the most recent version - same configuration exactly - now I have voice. Go figure. I agree that there appears to be no place in the help file that clearly and completely deals with configuration, other than descriptions of the fields that go something like, "Enter your password in this box". An excellent example is the context field. I was under the impression that a phone didn't determine its context - this would be rather dangerous actually. I really don't know what this field does. I just set it to match the context assigned to the phone in iax.conf. Anyway, here is an abstract of my setup:I tried to setup DIAX and connect to Asterisk for the last few versions. It never actally been able to connect to Asterisk or my Other SIP Proxies like VoiceMaster.
What does DIAX do actually?
Is there anyone in this list who has connected to Asterisk and made call for real?

In the DIAX registration form:
Alias: An alias for your server Server: IP address of your server (see note) Username: steve1 Password: YourCleverPassword Context: International ;Must be a valid context Register: checked Name: Your Name Number: 1881
Note that I could not make DNS work for the server entry. I had to enter the actual IP or DIAX never found the server. This is OK in my case since the server has a fixed IP. For servers getting their IP dynamically, this may be a problem.
Several other things that you must be careful about are the settings for the sound card. If you have more than one card, be sure that the desired one is selected. Also, be sure that the microphone (in the record controls - not the playback controls!) is not muted and is set to a suitable level. As far as I can tell, the phone delivers its audio to the sound card over the wav interface, so be sure that the volume and mute settings for wav playback are also set correctly.
