Asterisk: v.1.2.7.1
dynamic IP (using dyndns name)

Office A is set up with refresh dns and cron job for iax2 reload every
5 minutes.  It rarely looses connection to Office B.

Short story: IAX is still crap in 1.2.13 (haven't tested 1.4), it's unreliable and perfectly good hosts will become UNREACHABLE for no apparent reason, while SIP connections keep going through.

For trunking, avoid IAX and use SIP.

For the record I have had 4 asterisk (1.2.6) boxes connected with IAX trunks (every box registers with every other box) for over 6 months now with no issues. I did have some issues with a Linksys firewall, but that was with SIP registrations, not IAX. A firmware update fixed that.

I'm no * dev, but what exactly is so crap about IAX?
