Hear hear! We use IAX2 in our network to interconnect Switchvox and other Asterisk based systems at the client's locations, but we use SIP from the Desktop to the PBX. As an "ITSP" it's a lot easier to debug the IAX2 connections and it makes life a lot easier and more secure with a lot less headaches. Barring some weird NAT implementations, we've not had any show stopper issues w/ IAX2 in over 2 years and several hundred deployed systems "just work". We're still running 1.2 at the core of our IAX to TDM gateways, but after the current round of IAX2 changes has a chance to settle down and mature a bit, we'll be cutting over to 1.4. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
