asterisk users - Mar 2005 - IAX vs SIP (music on hold)

Does IAX support music on hold? It seems only my SIP phones do. Is this 
correct?

I hope I didnt get your question wrong, but if you are asking whether
Asterisk can play MOH to an IAX client, then the answer is yes. We
have a couple of IAX clients connecting into the queue and are being
played MOH while waiting for an operations.

Hope this helps :)

Cheers

As I understand it, once the call is delivered to asterisk, it becomes 
abstracted into a channel.  And you can do anything to one channel that 
you can do to other channels ( with a few notable exceptions including 
zap channels ). 

So it shouldn't make a difference whether it's sip/iax/zap as far as MoH
is concerned.  What may cause issues is what class of MoH is specified, 
by default and otherwise.  But as I haven't tinkered with that a great 
deal yet, I can't tell you much beyond that.

Good luck
