asterisk users - Dec 2003 - Re: Asterisk-Users digest, Vol 1 #2120 - 14 msgs

In response to the postings by Andrew Kohlsmith and Ernest W. Lessenger:


Andrew,

I modified the exten line in extensions.conf as you suggested. 
Unfortunately,
It still does not work...


Ernest,

I spent approx. 4 hours reading list archives (and anything else Google 
served up) on
how to configure iax.conf and extensions.conf to work with Voicepulse. 
Then, I sent
an email to voicepulse support explaining the problem; the reply that I 
received mentioned
that I was probably trying to speak IAX instead of the IAX2 protocol. I 
sent my configuration
file, and a request to check my account settings in response to their 
message. Unfortunately,
I have not never heard anything else from them since the initial email.

Finally, I tried (732) 339-5100 several times and could never reach a 
human.

So far, I am not too impressed with the response that I have received 
from Voicepulse.

Regards,
- darnell

I used, pretty much word-for-word, the example settings for iax.conf and 
extensions.conf that were sent to me in the connect! order confirmation 
email, and it worked beautifully from the very first minute.

while I am a little disappointed with the behavior of their consumer sip 
service (free month of vp unlimited comes with spa-2000 from 
voxilla...only wants to use g711u, grrrrrr), I am perfectly happy with 
the iax service I've gotten from vpconnect (well, except for when I 
start one too many bittorrent sessions and my traffic-shaper freaks out ^_^)
