Re: [Asterisk-Users] IAXTEL is dead/dying?

2005-01-24 Thread Mark Eissler
As someone that's just recently setup an * server I agree. I thought 
about setting up an Iaxtel account as well but couldn't see the point 
in it because I had setup FWD for testing. I continue to use FWD for 
all my toll free calls and the quality is just awesome. I can't see how 
Iaxtel would provide any additional benefit. Perhaps the time for 
Iaxtel has come and gone. There are plenty of IAX2 providers these 
days, * has become quite popular, so the need for a separate telecom 
network doesn't make a whole lot of sense; not that FWD isn't separate, 
it's just more popular IMHO.

reliable.
I'm dropping my IAXTel registration when next I get around to such
things.

Yeah, FWD has been pretty good about their beta of the IAX2 support. My
* server has been on it for 6 months without too much trouble. I even
use it to bridge out to Signate.co.uk where my boss has an account. It
was crystal clear last night from Houston TX to Cambridge UK. Dead
reliable.

I'm dropping my IAXTel registration when next I get around to such
things.

I didn't happen to see that message you sent before, but even if I
did, I was probably too busy to reply :)

Anyways, I used to use IAXTEL with great success.  However, for almost
nearly a year or so, I've been having significant latency problems
with it.  My qualify times were anywhere between 1500 and 5000ms, and
since I wasn't really using it that much, or receiving many calls on
it, I basically just dropped it.

I know a few others who have also done the same.

Basically if you need a free VoIP service, I recommend using
FreeWorldDialup with either SIP of IAX2 (I use IAX2) as it has what I
believe to be the largest user base, so might as well just use that. 
Plus they have break outs to lots of the other free services
(including IAXtel).

Thanks,
Leif Madsen.

Mark had made a post recently (last week or so maybe) -- could have been in 
IRC too... (it starts to blur together) that he was aware of the IAXTEL 
problems and that they were working on the issues.

Details are hazy... But then I drink alot too, so everything is hazy... 
(that's the point)
