Hello! Thank you all! The VPN-solution sounds nice. If I can find a provider/friend offering that, it might be better then IAX, for I know, that a lot of people have SIP and thus it would be easier to communicate. In addition, I found free SIP-providers offering SIP conversations to people

Hello! I'll classify the subject. :-) I have a nasty firewall, I don't have to much power over. It's javascript based in configuration and I can't use any graphical browser. The only other person at my home, doesn't know too much about computers. So I know, from experience, that SIP is

Hello! IAX I can basically understand, although I wasn't aware in the slightest, that other standard softphones supported it. But why SIP? Correct me if I'm wrong. there's a standard SIP-port. Then you send out the request to talk, then server and client negotiate a port for the audio

Hello Stefan! Sorry for the miss-understanding. I didn't refer to your mail about IAX, but about the one sayng SIP. I read your links and it seems I'll delve into it. I'll try to quote next time. I hate doing this, it always looks a bit unorganised, while writing... :-( Kindest regards

The OP asked, if I recall, about the protocol which is likely to be supported rather universally by softphones and a wide variety of clients. That is not a feature of IAX. Tilghman Lesher wrote: On Friday 12 September 2008 18:31:23 Alex Balashov wrote: The short answer is SIP. Stefan

Really? I thought both IAX and SIP are, at 3 characters apiece, equally short. However, if you get into IAX2, then yes... SIP is definitely a shorter answer. N. Alex Balashov wrote: The short answer is SIP. Stefan Gofferje wrote: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-IAX
