Am I mistaken? No, I think this is the current direction of Ring. However we are not currently supporting IAX. It was dropped for 2 main reaons: 1. At some point some refactoring was done which broke support for IAX. 2. During the process of becoming a GNU project, we realized the library which we used to support IAX [0] and which was still part of our dependencies was not compatible with our licence (GPLv3) as it is GPLv2, not GPLv2+ or 3. We are still supporting and planning to continue supporting SIP. -stepan [0] libiax2 - I'm not actually sure where, if anywhere, this project is hosted
