asterisk users - Apr 2004 - help ---IAX2 with zaptel timming.

I have setup iax2 between two servers without success.  when I launch 
asterisk with the
asterisk -vvvvvgcd command I see serveral wanings listed below.

Is this why I cannot make connections??

My question is, how do I setup zaptel timming without any cards if possible? 
  Does anyone have the steps?  Thanks for any information.

James

First off, as you can see from the errors, IAX2 trunking requires a timing 
device.  If you want to do trunking across IAX, then you need to either add 
in a zap card for timing, or build a software timing source (see 
www.voip-info.org for alternate asterisk timing options)

You could choose not to enable trunking on your IAX connections and you 
should be fine.  The only difference is that when you make multiple 
concurrent calls over a single IAX connection, trunking saves you some 
bandwidth by reducing packet overhead.

Thanks for the response.  I am rebuilding my kernel now to enable the 
alternate timing device.  Hope this works.  The reason I want to use IAX2 is 
because my server is behind a nat device and my clients are also under a nat 
device in another location.  Also I wanted to experiment with IAX2.

Thanks again for your reply, take care.
