Dan, Looks great. Are you planning to release this with GPL? Peter At 22:21 2/11/03 +0200, you wrote: Hi all, I have developed a full featured Windows IAX phone based on LIBIAX library . It is now in a prerelease version (0.9.0) and you can download it for free from my web page: http://www.laser.com/dante or http://www.geocities.com/tdanro Some of the features are: - registering with Asterisk PBX; - can use any audio device as ring device (including PC speaker), independent of the play device; - GSM codec support; - advanced phonebook(search/add/replace/delete); - 12 memories with one click access (just click one of the 12 buttons to directly dial the number); - you can memorize IAX type addresses then call them with a click of a button; - 99 memories with two keys access (Mxx); - unlimited number of memory locations (just limited by your HDD capacity), accessible through the phonebook interface; - can dial directly from the phonebook; - can use separate audio device than the default one (you can play MP3's through your soundcard/speaker and use an USB headset fort phone purpose); - digital VU-meter (you can enable/disable it); - digital volume control (Vol UP / Vol Down); - redial/callwaiting callerID functionalities; - can switch between two calls; - out/in/missed/rejected/all calls list; - missed calls indicator; There is no help file available for the moment. I hope to finish it in a couple of days. Please send me your feedback.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] New IAX software phone (for WIndows platform)
Hi Peter, As the library is under LGPL (is not true?), I intend to keep this application as a freeware only... I want to add new features, but for one of them I need new functions implemented in the library (like multiple codecs support, message waiting indicator, conferencing, etc.). Best regards, Dan P.S. I really need your feedback. The application is still under heavy development, so please be patient if not everything works exactly as expected.

There is no requirement that you GPL or LGPL your code (other than the requirements that you publish changes to iax-client and/or libiax. However, if you elect to GPL your software, you can get assistance from other people around the net. In addition, since this is such an important project, I'm willing to personally any assistance you may need with regards to IAX/IAX2 if you're going to GPL or LGPL your final product. As a side note, I strongly would like to see someone implement a client using libiax2 which implements IAX2 instead of the (now obsolescent) IAX version 1.

It has just 4 files (main exe, a dll, one configuration file and one call list file). > > is that need registry setting or not? No.. In the actual version (with installer), just the installer writes something in the registry in order to be able to uninstall. The DLL does not need to be registered (it si not an Active X dll) Nothing used by the application stored in the system registry. This was one of my first goals... to keep it as portable as possible Even with the actual version, you can make a small BAT file to copy the 'wiax.dll' file in the system32 directory before starting the application...this is all. Nothing to register. All the required files for the application to run are: diax.exe, diax.cfg, diax.cl (all in the same directory) wiax.dll (in the system32 directory). I even think to avoid using an installer mainly because the installer part is bigger that the application himself. What do you think?

The reason for me was that I wanted to make the program to have the look and feel of a standard phone.

Which do you think is the best way to provide this functionality. I intend to do it like that: - put a checkbox in the registration window (yes, will be one in the next release..;)) - if you check the box, then a register procedure sis triggered. - if not, it just use the info provided to compose the dial address together with the phone number. If you need to dial an IAX address containing name not numbers, then you must define a phonebook entry for that. It is ok for you?

I don't like VB any more than you do but if the thing works, who cares what it was written in. Nobody's asking me to maintain it. I was willing to give vb a chance at one time, but won't touch it any more. Speaking from firsthand experience here is what led to the eventual scrapping of a commercial product written in VB and a vow we will never use it again corporately. 1) 95 series / nt series stuff just behaved differently and no amount of property settings or traps changed that. 2) third party components are mostly supplied without source code. Vendors come and go like the wind so if you depend on something and it turns out to have a bug, often the only fix is a redo of the code. Alternatively you can write your own, but you pretty much have to do it with c to get the power to do what you need otherwise you would have just implemented in vb to start with. 3) There were many many bugs in the runtime libs - this may have changed in later versions (we tried 3, 4, and 5 with our code, which fixed some bugs and introduced new ones.) We finally just gave up on it since the customers using it were having constant issues we could not fix without replacing whole sections of VB with c code. 4) components changed behaviour with new releases of the "compiler", and needed code fixes to accomdate, so trying later versions was somewhat of a one way street. 5) The RAD of visual c and its templating is very close to that in vb, but you get the component sources, and can fix them if need be. 6) if you need special pieces you are interfacing c to c which is much simpler. (remember vb uses a pascal style strings and C is an SZ - extra overhead and hair pulling to interface, especially when vb has several variants on pascal style length storage) you have to end up asking yourself, is it still vb after I replace all the parts with c to get it to do what I want ? if the answer is more than 50%, why start with vb in the first place ?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] New IAX software phone (for WIndows platform)
Don't get me wrong, I think its great too that he has spent the time on it, and has something working. I am just trying to be helpful sharing my experience with the platform. We had what we thought was something working too, but when we started testing on all the actual supported windows o/s variations, and got to the nitty gritty of fixing tricky bugs, the whole thing fell apart on us, and I would like to save others the same frustration. Wasting one's own time is one thing, but paying people to do something you toss in the garbage is a lesson that stays with you even longer. VB may be fine as a stepping stone to other languages, it may also be fine for prototyping and getting look and algorithms right, but in my experience, trying to take the initial "working version" and refine it into something that is "commercial grade" is an exercise in futility. If it was my time I was investing, I would want to ensure I spent it the best way possible, and be able to spend time making my code work the way I wanted, not fighting with other issues that come up which I can't control. I'm only offering the advice I wish I had in my hands a few years back. At 02:04 PM 11/3/2003, you wrote: > I was willing to give vb a chance at one time, but won't touch it any > more.

Hello Dan, Its an excellent start. Please don't get swayed away by some stupid remarks. I am really impressed by your work and I hope to see a lot more releases from you. In spirit of improving the code, here are some of the issues that I faced while trying it out: 1. Once I dial the number, the directory disappears and never shows up. 2. I see a message at the bottom that says dialiing and the message goes away after a second or so. But nothing happens and the Dial/Hangup & Delete button goes gray on me. 3. It will be nice to see the status at the bottom at all times and have a hang-up button (even though the user may not be in call). This is just what we are used to doing on regular phone line. If something is wrong, click the falsh button a couple of time and hope that things would improve. That's it from me so far. Overall, great work and thanks a lot for all your efforts.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] New IAX software phone (for WIndows platform)
Dan, My question here is, what about when you have an IAX client that actually answers to multiple extensions to multiple contacts? Does the t argument need to follow the exten line that the IAX client answers to in each context? Or is just one of the context ok? Say for instance, I have Sally receptionist that is assigned extension 123 at company 1, and extension 5000 at parent company 25, she answers calls in both contexts, she also needs to be able to transfer calls regardless of which company they come in from.

Sally can be registered with only one * server for the moment, so it will receive any call through that server, even it has assigned extensions on multiple servers.

I understand that it can only be registered with one asterisk server. I also understand it can only take 2 incoming calls. My question is, within the dial plan (extensions.conf) when you put the t at the end of the exten line, does this have to be in each context that the user has in exten line.

IAX2 Java library (was Re: [Asterisk-Users] New IAX software phone (for WIndows platform))
On 03/11/03 00:25, Mark Spencer wrote: As a side note, I strongly would like to see someone implement a client using libiax2 which implements IAX2 instead of the (now obsolescent) IAX version 1. I'm implementing a Java-based IVR server (and yes, I know Asterisk does IVR, and no, it's not flexible enough to do what I want and no, it doesn't integrate well with the Java systems we have, etc. hence my doing this). Currently it uses SIP (using the NIST JAIN-SIP stack) and JMF to handle RTP/audio stuff. I've found that JMF/RTP doesn't scale very well, as it spawns a *lot* of threads, and can't reliably handle more than 20 simultaneous calls. So, I'm investigating the possibility of writing an IAX library for Java. Searching the archives, it seems various other people would be interested in this. So, my questions are: - Should I implement IAX or IAX2? What's the main difference, other than IAX2 supporting trunking (which according to the docs needs a Zaptel timing source). - Has anyone else made any headway with this? - Is anyone else interested in making this an LGPL or even a GPL project and helping me with it? I'm likely to implement just the call management/DTMF/audio type stuff required for IVR initially (i.e. not worry about call xfer, etc.). It'll also be geared towards handling the hundreds of simultaneous calls required in a server environment, although there'll be no reason not to use it for IAX clients too. Obviously such a library would enable a nice GUI cross-platform IAX(2?) client to be easily created, which would be a nice by-product. -- Alastair Maw MX Telecom http://www.mxtelecom.com ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Audio can be gotten out of it, but it is in a strange manner, and is only half of the requirement you listed. Sounds like you really need a C programmer and get into the guts of asterisk. Can't get more flexible than having the source code yourself to do anything you want. You could add your DSP routines into the dsp.c file and call them when needed. You can also write a asterisk application and have direct access to all the audio in every direction just as you want it. >- I need to be able to generate large amounts of audio in realtime, > conference people together but then only play an audio file to one > person within the conference, etc. I don't think AGI is flexible > enough to do this.

Actually they documentation is just programmer oriented. The documentation is included as example scripts and the section of apps/app_agi.c that contains a nice description of each function that is available. You can even do the following from the CLI, "show agi" to give you a list of agi commands, and "show agi " to get the paragraph or more of description of what each command does.

Meetme is doing the conferencing real well already, maybe needs a little tweeking to fully meet your needs, but it is a known working bit of code. Nope, _Eagle_ has implemented a AGI script hook into app_meetme which does exactly what he is describing. - The documentation for AGI is very poor. I know it is for IAX, too, but I can see a Java IAX library being useful for client development too, and I'd like to give a little back to the * community, you know? You have the source code. What more do you need? Jeremy McNamara ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I think there are several large open source projects that prove that C is maintainable. Maintainability is really a function of organization. If you can't be organized, you will not produce very maintainable C code. I'll point out that I am not a C programmer, but making patches to asterisk isn't that difficult. I have also made patches to the kernel without too much hair pulling. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
