asterisk users - Apr 2009 - Peer 'iaxfax' is now UNREACHABLE! Time: 3

Hi All,
I'm having a strange problem and I'm not able to understand what's
happening.
I've IAXModem and asterisk Asterisk 1.4.24 running on the same machine.
They are linked together through localhost. I've turned qualify on for the
iax peer. Periodically I've this message:

[Apr 20 23:47:46] NOTICE[4641]: chan_iax2.c:9049 __iax2_poke_noanswer:
Peer 'iaxfax' is now UNREACHABLE! Time: 3
[Apr 20 23:47:56] NOTICE[4632]: chan_iax2.c:8128 socket_process: Peer
'iaxfax' is now REACHABLE! Time: 3

It happens a lot of times during the day, even when the box is not loaded
at all.
I've tried to connect the asterisk box to a IAXModem running on an
external PC on the same subnet and the problem was not replicable. Seems
only when the two pieces of software are running on the same machine.

Is someone having the same problem? Is there something I can do to better
understand what's the cause of this?

Thank you and best regards,
Marco Signorini.

It happened to me a lot when I tried to get IAXmodem to work. I never
found out what the problem was and instead changed to 1.6 and native
SendFax/ReceiveFax. No more problems with iax going unreachable.

What does iaxmodem say?  (Look at the iaxmodem logs.)

Same here, it doesn't remain unreachable for long, but it's annoying if 
a fax arrives when it is. I'm going to try Fax for Asterisk instead:

Your gateway is propably requiring a SIP extension Asterisk does not  
support. You have to show us the INVITE message in order for us to be  
able to explain better.
