Hi all! I am looking for some software that would work as a proxy between a SIP device (SIP phones and ATA boxes) and the Asterisk system running IAX. The reason is that I can only get IAX trow the firewalls, and can't change the settings. One solution I am using are getting several Asterisk system communicate trow IAX bout in this case would I rater have every persons computer act as a proxy for their own phones (Running Widows XP). The reason is that the are using laptops and travel, some are already using softphons and IAX bout some don't like softphons for some reason. If it is not any proxy out their, the will I write o of my own. (Of cause giving it out for free), I think Asterisk for Windows would be overkill. Sorry for my poor English.

I would suggest using OpenSIPS with Asterisk and bypass IAX all together for this particular application. An OpenSIPS solution will take care of your traveler's NAT issues (and could handle the registrations) while you used Asterisk for voicemail and whatever else. I've personally used this type of general setup in the past with a great deal of success for remote offices and soft-phones on laptops. _____________________________ Darren Sessions dmsessions at gmail.com http://www.darrensessions.com _____________________________ On Sep 9, 2008, at 1:19 PM, Mattias Andersson wrote:> > Hi all! > I am looking for some software that would work as a proxy between a > SIP device (SIP phones and ATA boxes) and the Asterisk system > running IAX.

Often the objection is about the 'feel' of the thing. Also Tesco (and Freshtel) have some IAX devices. If you really want to put together a SIP to IAX proxy, then a simple asterisk config would do. (You might want to look at Freeswitch or Yate , as their Windows support is a little more 'enthusiastic' than Asterisk's :-) - they both support IAX and SIP ) Tim.
