asterisk users - Dec 2004 - iaxy to iaxy call drops out of "show channels"

I place a call from an IAXY to an IAXY device. INitially the calls show
in the output of "show channels". Then after a few seconds the
"show
channels"
command shows 0 active channels even though I am still talking on the 
channels.

Any ideas on this?

THanks,

Jerry

Sure, the IAXy's do a reinvite and * drops out.

This could happen if the wo devices negotiate a direct connection. IAX
has a mechanism to do this just like REINVITE in SIP. Once the call is
setup * connects the two end points directly and takes itself out of
the call path. This happens as long as * is not required to transcode
between codecs or protocols. Also, there is a parameter for IAX.CONF
called NOTRANSFER= that can user enable/disable such things on a per
peer basis.
