Hello Since SIP/RTP is a pain to use with road warriors who need to connect from any location over the Internet, I'd like to get them some IAX phones instead. For those of you using this protocol instead of SIP, what would you recommend as IAX hardphones and Windows (and ideally Mac) softphones? Thank you.

I haven't used it, but maybe you'd want to give it a shot and let the rest of us know how it works. As far as softphones, I'd say Zoiper has been my choice for a while - runs on Mac and Windows. (note: these are not official recommendations; just random personal selections made with no discernible criteria other than "it seemed like a good idea at the time") JT --- John Todd email:jtodd at digium.com Digium, Inc. | Asterisk Open Source Community Director 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville AL 35806 - USA direct: +1-256-428-6083 http://www.digium.com/

The is a web-page that will allow you to provision the adapter over the Internet if you have to (don't have the link). -- Joseph
