[Ekiga-list] Feature Request: Support E164.org DynDNS API or Remote Management Protocol

2009-04-14 Thread Rene Bartsch
Hi,

we all know we can map E164 numbers to SIP addresses by using ENUM. But what 
about road warriors
or people with dynamic IPs? Currently they have to use a Dynamic DNS service 
like DynDNS.org and
add NAPTR records to their ENUM number in E164.org.

But there are  much easier ways - both, the DynDNS API
http://www.e164.org/wiki/DynDNS?highlight=(dyndns) and the Remote Management 
Protocol
http://www.e164.org/wiki/RemoteManagementProtocol; allow to update NAPTR 
records automatically.

So I suggest to implement functions in Ekiga to automatically add/update a 
NAPTR record in
E164.org's DNS system to the current IP address and SIP port of the Ekiga 
client.


Have phun with Ekiga

Re: [Ekiga-list] how to bypass SIP server and call a computer directly?

 Rene Bartsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 What does Ekiga do with a user name on an incoming call?  Just ignore
 it?

As Ekiga doesn't have a user management, I assume so.

 What happens in general when the user name is left out?

Calling Ekiga by IP/domain worked fine for me (haven't tested 3.x series, yet).


 But there's one special case in Ekiga. Alphanumeric addresses are
 interpreted as sip: while numeric-only addresses are interpreted
 as ENUM addresses.

 Thanks for this info!

 Does this mean that 1234 is equivalent to enum:1234?  Is there
 some standard prefix like “enum:” that is used for ENUM addresses?

 I think putting [EMAIL PROTECTED] will work.

 Thanks for this information!

 Testing seems to indicate that [EMAIL PROTECTED], IPADDRESS,
 sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED], and sip:IPADDRESS all seem to work similarly.

 What is the rule here?  It seems that the “sip:” prefix is the default
 and can be omitted.  What is used for the part to the left of the [EMAIL 
 PROTECTED]
 when it is omitted?


Depends on the receiver. The syntax is user@host:port. When using 
standard ports, you don't
need port (defaults to 5060). host is either domain or IP. Some soft- and 
especially
hardphones demand for a user while others don't. The AVM Fritzbox is much 
more special as it
only calls callees with a SRV record. But often ip only works.

But there's one special case in Ekiga. Alphanumeric addresses are interpreted 
as sip: while
numeric-only addresses are interpreted as ENUM addresses.

Re: [Ekiga-list] Setting up a videophone (from scratch)

2008-08-11 Thread Rene Bartsch
 I have an application; a person walks up to the Linux box, presses a
 button and (after a sec, with some pretty graphics) a person's face
comes up and we're talking to someone we're also seeing.

 This shouldn't be hard, the idea is to make this manual free at
 all times. With this background, here's the question:

 How hard is it to open a communication with a remote person
 (probably on an Asterix PBX built for this purpose) to make the call
_from_an_icon_ or other no-brainer construct?

 Ekiga is a great tool, even better than it was as GnomeMeeting, but
 I need something less flexible (to the user) and more simple, too. Is
that something that's done without source code?



It's some kind of overkill, but Asterisk has video support for the oss
console channel. I don't know which version you need, or even CVS version,
but I've read about a patch added some month ago.

Re: [Ekiga-list] For or against ?

2008-08-07 Thread Rene Bartsch
 Hello,


 Would you be for or against such a scheme ?

 http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Fee+Announcement+from+Free+World
 +Dialup


I've received that mail, too.

With the result I won't use FWD anymore.

Drawbacks:

1.) Having fees forces the use of payment systems which often need
additional personal information of the user. NOT Good! :(

2.) There is no global numbering plan and I won't register with 20
registrars to pay 600 $ per year.

So I'd propose a donation system with a donation meter with red, yellow
and green area showing how many days the system can be kept running. When
reaching yellow, comfort functions will be disabled, and red means the
service will be suspended until enough donations have been made.

By the way, you don't need a SIP registrar when using a ENUM-Domain with
NAPTR-,A- and SRV-Records.

So I would only pay for a ENUM-Domain with some kind of DynDNS or SOAP
interface to update the records.

Cheers,


Renne

Does ekiga.net have ENUM registrations?

FWD uses a [ENUM-Prefix][numeric FWD user ID] for the mapping.

That way any ENUM-capable UA can call FWD-users.

 Your SIP address should be enough:
 sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

 The Ekiga.net service accept calls to its registered users without
being registered to Ekiga.net. Just call the sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] address
directly. With this solution you'll need an alphanumeric keypad.

 Service numbers like the Ekiga.net echo test (sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]), or the
conference rooms are reserved to registered users of the Ekiga.net
service.

[Ekiga-list] IAX2 support (was (Re: [Ekiga-devel-list] Ekiga 3.00 available for WIN32 *only*)

2008-04-04 Thread Rene Bartsch
  and we can bury SIP finally.

 Joking ? Sip support is really important. Most VideOIP software support
 it.

 Keep cool!

 I think all he wanted to say was: Nobody who does not *want* to use SIP
 but would rather prefer IAX2 (for example, because he's behind a NAT
 firewall and has problems to make STUN work properly) will not be forced
 into SIP anymore.

Yes, I just want to be able to connect to anyone with SIP.

Mmh, I never tried whether IAX clients can work work peer-to-peer (with
some DNS tricks it's possible with any SIP client).

 If IAX2 will marginalize SIP (as SIP did with H.323) is to be seen.

If it's standardized it has the potential to do this within a few years.

- VSPs: Less horsepowers on the VoIP servers
- Hardware vendors: Much cheaper hardware
- Users:Much more reliable, only one NAT-port

By the way, about three years ago I did some testing with IAX and SIP.
On a Server (Intel P4, 1024 MB RAM, 100 MBit/s inernet connection) I had
set up an Asterisk installation with facsimile support. The server was
connected to a PSTN gateway of a VSP with SIP and IAX. Then I tried to
send 10 facsimilies from a facsimile machine (FAX (analogue) - ISDN -
PSTN - PSTN Gateway - Internet - Asterisk server). The latencies
between PSTN gateway and Asterisk server were about 5 -10 msecs.

With IAX eight facsimilies were successful, SIP failed completely!

 Just wondering, and yes, this is entirely off-topic:

 Does IAX2 support video?

Rene

Re: [Ekiga-list] Why H.263 is not used in ekiga?

2007-03-20 Thread Rene Bartsch

 Hi all,



 Eventhough H.263 codec in opal supports high resolutions,
 why it is not used in ekiga? Please be gentle. I am quite new using
 ekiga. Please help me by giving a reply.


That's a quite interesting question. When testing Ekiga with 1 MBit/s
upstream in the LAN resolution was something about 172 dpi although my
Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Pro provides a resolution of 640x480
(V4L2).

It would be nice to have more efficency (higher resolution and framerate)
in Ekiga.

Thanx for any hint

 Running ekiga -c sip:xxx command only works in case Ekiga hasn't been

 It should work in both cases. I just tried again here in a
 gnome-terminal.


I've just tried again. Ekiga 2.0.4 ist automatically started by the
autostart from KDE. When I run ekiga -c sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I get two
windows with error messages, one complaining about the listener port for
SIP being in use and the other complaining about the listener port for
H.323 being in use. When I press OK in both windows, a new Ekiga
instance is started dialing sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED].

But every time I get the two error messages and two instances of Ekiga
trying to use the same resources.

Is there any voodoo in Gnome which is not available in KDE?

Is it possible to use some dbus-send xxx command for dialing (I have no
plan of dbus ...)?
