I have * running with sipgate.de so that works fine.

Googling for 'asterisk' and 'softphone' gives this link at 7th position http://www.junghanns.net/asterisk/page13.html It's slightly outdated, you won't need the diff any more (as far as I can tell), but it still gives you the general idea. *'s softphone capabilities are somehow limited though. E.g. you can't put calls on hold, and what bothers me even more is that the soundcard isn't released between calls. I.e. * grabs it on startup and releases it only when quitting, unlike (most) other softphones. On the other hand, latency wise * is the best softphone I came across on Linux.

[Asterisk-Users] Basical question to asterisk
Hello! I'm new to asterisk and because I try to configure the package for my needs the last days without success, I'd like to ask a basical qestion. I need asterisk to work together with the German VoIP provider sipgate (http://www.sipgate.de). Asterisk should act as a softphone, I want to recive and make calls only with the software under linux, no softphone should be used. Is this possible with asterisk in principle or do I have to use a real softphone together with asterisk? Manny thanks! -- Gruss / Regards, Christian Schoepplein Linux for the blind: http://www.blinux.suse.de ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
