Hello Michael,
I just had both Mom and my brother up as extensions on my Asterisk pbx
using IAX2, the Cubix phone for now, but I downloaded and tried several. I
loke multiple lines, but a clean GUI is better for my family..
Oh yeah, it worked flawlessly :)
I open one port to my server udp/4569 and that was it. I shut the rest
off.
For remote family, IAX2 will be what I use right now.
Anybody see a Video capable version for Windows? The MAC has one, darn it.

Hi "Guys"
I too am trying to do exactly the same thing in being a provider for family
members. My Asterisk server is on a public ip, my home is behind a Watchguard
Firebox, my job is also behind a Firebox. I am using a combination of Cisco
7960, Linksys 941 and XTEN Softphone. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does
not.
You idea on using a IAX2 softphone appears to be what will solve my problem.
Thanks very much.... Post more ideas. 'preciate it.

Bruce,
I *just* tested the XtremePhone, IAX2 softphone. Other than trying to figure
out how to get it to send proper CallerID to the other phones, it worked right
off, in both directions. Excellent!
Perhaps working the IAX2 angle will be less of a hassle, I will go looking for
one that does video now.
Maybe it's time to buy an IAX2-ATA adaptor and see how well that works over the
net.

As for the SIP logs, I start Asterisk with -vvvvc already, I did a sip debug
and tried my call from the house to my remote SIP phone. YIKES!!
Gunna take a bit to understand all that, but I think I did see an INVITE, and a
CANCEL twice in a row and I did not hit the hang-up switch. So that might
explain why no connection is made, and the called gets my voice-mail (according
to my wife)

Nick,
I have done what you are talking about as far as being a provider for family
members. I used an IAX softphone mainly to eliminate the need for so many
holes in the firewall. And secondly because the idefisk IAX softphone
allowed me to extract the zip version, configure the phone, and zip the
folder up and email it to my family members. So for my mom it was simply
unzip the folder and

Nick,
Anything helpful in the asterisk or system logs.
Try bumping up the debug and verbose levels see what shows up on the
console.
Weird that it would work inbound and not outbound.

Hey all,
A previous annoyance with not being able to call out to my brother on
FWD
from my Asterisk system had me thinking that since I have my own PBX,
and
that system has it's own 1-to-1 static NAT to the internet, I should
be
able to act as the provider for him or any of my family, and have them
as
local extensions of my PBX, right?
So I took my laptop to work (using the X-Lite SIP softphone) and watch
my
ACL logs on my router for any denies to my Asterisk box. As expected
udp/5060, then once that was open, a series of randomish udp/10000+
requests. My phone registered, and I tried to call one of the phones
behind a PAP2. Worked first shot, and just as clear and responsive as
it
was when I was home. But, the phones at home could not call me, they

to voice mail.
I had heard that SIP doesn't survive NAT all that well, and that IAX
native phones do a better job. My question is, given my description of
how
I am set up and what I am trying to accomplish, should I be looking at
SIP
or is IAX a more robust choice? (I was hoping to get video working as
well, h.263 I believe it is).
