I gave it a try on SuSE 8.1, and it failed with a library incompatibility. I tried it on SuSE 9.1, and it starts up, but segfaults when I a) try to preview a ringtone, b) attempt to dial. This is with the precompiled binary. Mebbe I'll try compiling from source and see if I get better luck... I added an entry to the directory as the web page suggested, but I can't seem to figure out how to dial another station directly. I don't have an account on any server yet, so I was just hoping to dial another instance on another box on the LAN. I also found ziaxphone, which is an implementation for the Zaurus. It took a few edits to permissions and the startup script to get it to run on my SL-5600, but now that seems to run stable. Now as soon as I can get iaxcomm running, I'll have something to test against... -- Rick Green They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Today, I've spent the day reading, downloading, and trying to get started. Watch out for the first step, its a doozey! I have no hardware(FXO, FXS ports, VoIP phones) as yet, so I'm trying to move forward with just the commodity stuff I have on hand. Here's my current plan: 1) Install and learn an IAX 'softphone' application. I have some minimal experience with ohphone, which I hope will translate to an IAX softphone. I think that iaxComm is currently the only other iax softphone for linux http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net/iaxcomm/index.html So here I'm stuck. There were no documentation files in the .rpm, nor on the website. The README consists only of We released it, Hooray!. Is this worth pursuing? Is there another IAX softphone application out there? Greg mentioned in his talk a 'firefly IAX stack' but a google search tells me that is a windows app. Not an option. It's much better documented than gnophone: there's a README *and* a QUICKSTART OK, so the documentation isn't that fantastic, but there are some screenshots on the web page. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
