IAX2 was designed to leverage the core capabilities of Asterisk and not take the same route that other protocols took by learning from their mistakes. There are just some things it wasn't designed to do 'nor does it claim to do. It wasn't made with the capability to transport accountcode or other arbitrary Asterisk specific information. Could it be added though? sure. > Doug.
