I wouldn't say 'better' so much as 'understood'. When I've worked with SIP, including integrating components from multiple manufacturers or programmers, things with SIP have worked or at least my troubleshooting led to measurable progress until I had things working. I had much difficulty locating suggestions for what I might be doing wrong when my IAX connections failed, or seemed to spontaneously reconnect, etc. I gave up, and went with a SIP-based approach because I need 'something that worked' more than I needed to know the ins and outs of IAX. Maybe somebody who knows the common errors, what causes them, and how to fix them could write up an IAX 101 or something. I have a hunch that provider has noticed the same thing, such that they end up providing more in-person support than it was possible for the margin they were making on that business. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
