I'm fighting a losing battle with voiptalk.org in the UK.
After a silly address verification process ("send us a copy of your
landline bill"), waiting a couple of days (it was a weekend...),
configuration issues, and glacial customer support ("We currently have a
5-7 day update time on standard voiptalk support.") I finally got a
DID/DDI configured to use IAX.
Now I learn that they don't support registration!
They say "IAX will not work with our service without a public IP address
or FQDN." (I think he meant to say "Our service requires a static
public
IP address or a FQDN that resolves to a static public IP address.")
I really want to use my Asterisk server at home which sits behind a router
and is on an RFC1918 address.
One of their configuration options is to use an IAXy.
I can't/won't put my IAXy on a static public IP address so this may be a
deal killer.
In any case, will an IAXy work without registering to an IAX server?
If I configure their server's IP address in the IAXy and they reject the
registration request, will the IAXy still work?
At least the web site is pretty :)
Thanks in advance,

Guys, Would there be any interest in $1 per DID's/month (U.S.-48 Nationwide) with a per minute charge of $0.01 on the inbound? I may have something available if there is enough people interested. Please e-mail me off-list. /jon

I have voip talk "Manage Incoming Numbers" screen set like this: Current Status: IAX -> xxx.yyy.co.uk (where xxx.yyy.co.uk looks up to my home ip address) I have my home router set to port forward 4569 to my asterisk box (it's an NSLU2 actually ) on it's 192.168.0.x address. My asterisk has no registration in iax.conf. All worked fine last time I tried. Only thing is, I have a static IP on my ADSL account, so it doesn't matter if they cache the lookup on xxx.yyy.co.uk.
