Re: [asterisk-users] Best and easiest soft phone for my Dad..
Marc, I like your MediaX Phone ( IAX softphone ), I have been using IDEFISK (Zoiper), but I found your softphone easier to configure. It is stable and simpler to use. Keep up the good work. -baji. -- On 7/21/07, Time Bandit wrote: So I am looking for a softphone thats really simple to setup and as foolproof as possible..

Re: [asterisk-users] Best and easiest soft phone for my Dad..
Get portsip ( www.portsip.com ) its realtively easy to configure ( just push in user/password and server name at startup ) .. there might be NAT issue so make sure you have nat=yes in ur asterisk's sip.conf for the peer definition . If it still doesnt work then you need to find a iax phone like zoiper ( http://www.zoiper.com/ previously idefisk ). On 21/07/07, WipeOut [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Here is the situation..

Re: [asterisk-users] Best and easiest soft phone for my Dad..
SIP has a lot of issues with NAT, I can only get it to work correctly on my LAN with a softphone. IDEFISK, now known as Zoiper, is IAX based and I have tested it from all kinds of hotel rooms, even the free version supports 6 simultaneous calls : http://www.asteriskguru.com/idefisk/ good luck ! -baji. -- On 7/21/07, WipeOut wrote: Hi, Here is the situation..

Re: [asterisk-users] Best and easiest soft phone for my Dad..
One I really like is the idefsk version that was a zip file, you could extract the file configure the softphone, zip it up and email it out. Saved the headache of walking someone through the process and even ran of thumb drives. On 7/21/07, WipeOut [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Here is the situation..

Re: [asterisk-users] Best and easiest soft phone for my Dad..
It is possible that the hotel is only allowing certain incoming/outgoing ports as well (i.e. just allowing DNS and HTTP traffic). A VPN *might* help with that.
