asterisk users - Jun 2004 - I can't get iaxComm to connect to guest@misery.digium.com

On advice from others I dropped gnophone in favor of iaxComm.

I am operating on an IBM T30 laptop Redhat Linux 2.4.20-8 with an Intel
i810 audio chipset (comes in the laptop).

I am using the Gnome desktop.

There is no reference to alsa or oss to be found.

All audio components function fine.

Nothing else is running and I have an active broadband internet
connection.

I can ping www.digium.com but NOT misery.digium.com which may explain
the retransmissions.

I downloaded iaxcomm-lin-current.tar

Untarred it.

And did the following:

[root@localhost iaxcomm]# ls
iaxcomm QUICKSTART README ring.raw
[root@localhost iaxcomm]# ./iaxcomm
Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkgc.c: line 689 (gdk_gc_set_clip_rectangle):
assertion `gc != NULL' failed.
Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkdraw.c: line 90 (gdk_draw_rectangle): assertion
`gc !NULL' failed.
Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkgc.c: line 689 (gdk_gc_set_clip_rectangle):
assertion `gc != NULL' failed.

<===== Here I cancelled the Account window


Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: HW does not support 2 channels

<==== Here the headset and microphone clicked on and I could hear what I
spoke into the microphone in the headset

<==== I then typed guest@misery.digium.com/s in the field above Dial and
clicked Dial
<==== I received the following and heard nothing.
<==== I then Hungup and closed the window
