similar to: FireFly doesn't work with 3rd party anymore

After many months of development, I'm pleased to announced Firefly - an IAX soft phone and network. The firefly softphone - free, runs under windows, allows connection to multiple networks, skinable interface, connection to firefly network, IAX2 protocol, (SIP in next release), codecs supported - iLBC, G.711 ulaw/alaw, GSM. - contact lists, selectable ringtones. download from here -

There's a new firefly release out for those who are using firefly with your lovely asterisk / SIP server. http://www.virbiage.com/firefly/download/firefly-thirdparty.exe the main changes are improved GUI fixes (mouse wheel works now :) ), few url parsing fixes, mic volume control and improved compatibility with SIP servers (namely SER). Send me all bugs, problems and suggestions (even

Hi We've recently set up and are using with success 1.0.7 using a Junghanns quadbri card to BRI ISDN, and Firefly with IAX2 protocol as softphones Works very well, however we're getting cases where sometimes the call just drops. >From setting more verbose modes we get a log which is shown below. The problem seems to be the maxretries message which comes from chan_iax2. We are using

I found version 2.0.0 of Firefly on the Freshtel site, but it only has the network setup options for the Freshtel network, despite the final statement on the page http://www.freshtel.net/firefly/download/ that says: ----------------- Standalone SIP / IAX mode: If you want to use Firefly on our network (with your own voicemail etc.) you will need to register a Firefly number. However, you can

This might have been talked about before, but I'm posting anyhow. I've got down to testing Asterisk yesterday, and I couldn't help but compare it with Skype (a Windoze only product, yet, but extremely efficient for some reason). Skype has almost unperceptible delay (LAN), while there is almost half a second of delay regardless of the codec on Asterisk. An even if we were to

Hi all I'm looking for a solution to this problem. *box--------internet-----------nat-----------softphone We have potential customers who will be travelling the world with laptops/pda's. They need to be able to connect to the asterisk box via ip wherever they are and will have no control over nat whatsoever. I have read that STUN offers this service, but cannot picture in my mind how

How come FireFly doesn't give me an Inband DTMF option? Only RFC2833 and Info. RFC2833 is the default, so I left it that way. I also unchecked all the codecs except g711ulaw to force that codecs usage. However, when I go to place a call, I get this: Nov 3 13:18:44 WARNING[53641241]: dsp.c:1468 ast_dsp_process: Inband DTMF is not supported on codec G.711 u-law. Use RFC2833 Nov 3 13:18:44

Hi Does anybody know how to build the LibIAX2 from Virbiage? It has some nice features when using Firefly (Messaging, Status Indication). The source can be downloaded here: http://www.virbiage.com/3rdparty/. It does not contain any directions how to compile. Any hints? Thanks! Reto

As Promised, I've released a new version of Firefly (ver 1.8) with IAX & SIP support back in. Get it from Virbiage site or here's the direct link http://www.virbiage.com/firefly/download/firefly-thirdparty.exe If it crashes on startup, export your Firefly tree from the registry (current user -> software -> firefly), then delete tree from your registry. If that fixes it, send

Hi, I spot weird behaviour of latest Firefly 3rd party on my laptop. Sometimes it comes to state that it won't start (hangs on "Initializing" ) and it again works after system restart... Didn't yet figured out how to recreate it..... Any similar experience ? Also - how can I force Firefly to make outgoing calls (also sip or iax calls) through Asterisk ? I'd like to

Hey list (again - annoying bastard I am) I've played with Firefly/* for a while and I have yet to find a way to have * send voicemail notification to Firefly. It appears possible using SIP (no clue whether Firefly supports it) in the sip.conf file, but there's no mention of anything voicemail-related in the IAX.conf file. I'm using IAX with Firefly, so that might just be the

Just a quick announcement for Firefly users that Firefly 1.9.5 is out. Mainly just a bug fix release as we get ready for Firefly 2.0. One notable feature added is DTMF via SIP INFO. http://www.virbiage.com/firefly/download/firefly-thirdparty.exe is the URL As always, send me any bugs, features or suggestions. -Adam

Hello Folks, I noticed that all of the IaxClient based softphones with exception of Firefly only seem to have support for GSM but what about iLBC? The quality is excellent with iLBC even on a dialup connection! Meanwhile while the audio on GSM often sounds scratchy. Is anyone looking to implement iLBC in an IaxClient based softphone soon?

G'Day, I have a bit of FireFly problem that hopefully someone has seen before. What happens is if I make to or receive a call from the FireFly network the call will connect successfully. However, around 10 seconds after I answer the call I am disconnected. The weird thing is same thing happens if I make a call. I've had a look at the * console and I can't see that my * PBX drops

Have the Sayson IP phon started to deliver yet? I'm thinking about two new phones for my office and considering the Sayson 480i and Zultys 4x4. Would also consider the Virbiage phone if it becomes available. I have Snom 200s and a Pingtel phone at the moment. Michael -- Michael Graves mgraves@pixelpower.com Sr. Product Specialist

I did get it to work, and can place and receive calls through the Firefly network via *. Compared to iaxtel or FWD, there is a significantly higher amount of latency, but it is workable. For some reason, this needed to be the last entry in my iax.conf or it would try to authenticate with a different user ID when receiving calls (and obviously would fail. Relevant section from my iax.conf:

Okay, I've read as much as I can, and I think i've followed instructions, but I'm still having problems with * and firefly... I can get outgoing to other freshtel working, but not incoming (I get the "not available" voicemail), or outgoing to landline. I'm using the debian asterisk package (0.9.1-RC1-4) My iax.conf has in general (under my FWD register, which

I have an asterisk server up and running, using Firefly in IAX mode works great, even with Firefly behind a NAT (as expected, since IAX works really well with NAT). Now I'm trying to get X-Lite and/or Firefly to work in SIP mode from behind the NAT, and I can't seem to get there. At this point, the phone will successfully register with Asterisk, and the Asterisk qualify messages get

Hi folks an issue I don't understand. I'm running * stable 1.0.3 on public internet, with following iax.conf / sip.conf entries: iax.conf [100] type=friend username=Foo context=default auth=md5,plaintext,rsa secret=secret host=dynamic callerid="Foo" <100> qualify=no sip.conf [10] type=friend username=Bar context=default callerid=Bar <10>

Hello All, I have been looking for a commercial version of an IAX2 Softphone for Windows but the ones I have came across (i.e. Iaxcomm, Iaxphone, Diax) do not seem to have an updated version since April 2004 in some cases. We looked at Firefly but we sent emails to Virbiage/Freshtel with questions and could never get a response from them. Has anyone got any recommendations for commercial
