I think Zoiper registers directly with Asterisk IAX2 (if configured) as an extension, isn't it? -- Joseph

A softphone could also talk to Asterisk over other protocols such as SIP. The configuration will depend on whether you are trying to connect over a local wireless LAN, or from the Internet back to your server. Here is a tutorial that features zoiper: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Hello+World The tutorial assumes you are running Zoiper on the PC, but setting it up should be similar. -- Rusty Newton Digium, Inc. | Community Support Manager 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - US direct: +1 256 428 6200 Check us out at: http://digium.com & http://asterisk.org
