I mostly started playing with Asterisk because it had the most hits on Google. Asterisk can do SIP. I haven't used it outside my network because I have a NATting firewall (one of those Linksys devices). I'd like to put in a Linux based firewall and install an SIP proxy on it, but I'm all out of round tu-its. I have used SIP internally. I guess the reason I like IAX better is because it can cross a NATting firewall with port forwarding on a single (I think) port. > Do have any experience with Linux SIP Softphones? > http://www.iptel.org/info/products/sipphones.php The only SIP softphone I've used is kphone. I've tried a couple others but I couldn't get them to compile. I have also used IAXComm, but it seems to have the drawback that it is limited to one encoding scheme (GSM?). I had not seen that link before. It's bookmarked now. :-) I don't have any expe > I'm sure you've seen: > Open Source Telephony...

I tried to buy it from Digium (because I believe in supporting the Asterisk effort), but after 5 calls to them in 4 weeks, I gave up. I wish you better luck. On the phone side, I'm trying to get a Sipura SPA-2000 working. > Regards, > > --Tom > HTH, Eric _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
