The issue with SIP is that it requires 2 ports, one for Signaling (5060 5061), and another for the voice data (usually about 10000). On some firewalls configurations it just works. On other it can work for some time then one side drops out. And on other firewalls you get one way voice. > -- thinking about trying things out just doing local calls within the > house... soft phone to analog phone on the adapter. clues on how to start > out? good linux soft phone? do I need asterix or can the softphone just > initiate a SIP call to the SPA on the LAN? > You can initial a call to the SPA from any softphone. I used Ekiga in my testing. _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
