No. An IAX call from Paris setup through Reno via NuFone would go like this ... Paris ---IAX---> Michigan ---???---> SF ... and if NuFone have a node in SF, then it would go ... Paris ---IAX---> SF ---POTS---> Called Party in SF [Jeremy, can you elaborate please?

IAX does a so called IAX Transfer, which is similar in effect to a SIP REINVITE. rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.
