I followed the instructions on the fwd page, but I had to add "allow=ulaw" to the iax.conf general section (which was hinted on the page but easily missed), and changed the Dial statements (since only one of them is needed). I also wrote back to FWD regarding this and Ed has updated those fwd pages as of yesterday. Might compare your config files to his again. What he is showing on the pages right now should work just fine; they do work for me. > I can connect to FWD on my asterisk - but FWD only see me as an external > SIP agent and not a SIP client of the FWD network. DOn't know exactly why > - so would luv to compare your conf files. I don't know that I'm understanding your statement above relative to sip. Taking a guess... one of the steps on the page indicates you have to write an email to Ed and ask him to make the changes so your account uses iax2 instead of sip. That note suggests it might take a day or two for those manual changes to be completed. It could be your changes have not been completed as yet, or you didn't send him the email; tough to guess based only on the words noted above. If you previously had a register statement in your sip.conf for fwd, you should comment it out as its no longer needed after the iax conversion. The following steps should help you diagnose what is happening: 1. I don't remember which asteisk config file changes get reread when you do an asterisk "relaod" command from the CLI, so just get in the habbit of "stop now" and restart asterisk from scratch when making the changes needed for this sip to iax conversion. 2. If your register statement in iax.conf is correct, then when you execute the "iax2 show registry" it should return something like: Host Username Perceived Refresh State 65.39.205.121:4569 62353 203.212.183.101:4569 60 Registered where 62353 represents "your" fwd number (whatever it is). If you don't see the above, then fix your register statement and stop/restart asterisk. 3. FWD site indicates that dialing 612 will provide you with the current time. Assuming you followed the instructions correctly on their page, dial that number from one of your phones, then execute "iax2 show channels" while the call is in progress. You should see something like: Peer Username ID (Lo/Rem) Seq (Tx/Rx) Lag Jitter Format 65.39.205.121 62353 00001/00001 00003/00007 00000ms 0019ms ULAW 1 active IAX channel(s) The above would confirm your "outbound" entries in extensions.conf and iax.conf are correct. If you don't see the above, then go back and check your configs again. 4. The FWD site includes a page that sends a test call to your asterisk box. Find it and use it to generate an incoming call, which will test all remaining configuration statements on your system. Its currently about half the way down the page at: http://www.freeworlddialup.com/content/view/full/274/ where it says "Call Me". It is a handy way to make inbound call tests without bothering other FWD users. 4. Last, you should be able to originate a call to your own FWD number and watch the asterisk CLI send that call to FWD, and FWD attempting to call your phone. Read those statements very carefully as the words will actually describe most configuration problems. If you want to test further, then initiate a FWD call from some other phone other then the one that you normally receive incoming FWD calls from. You should be able to call yourself via FWD nicely. If you still can't get this to work, then give us some real output from your asterisk CLI, and paste portions of the extensions.conf and iax.conf that relate to this.
