Well, I'm not sure where you are going in Central America, but I'm sure that

telcos are quite vicious on any bypass termination.
IAX2 allows you to operate much more covertly (apart from all its other
benefits).
So, you
Check out PA168 devices. They are cheap (easily get for $45-$50) and have
open source firmware. They also support 5 protocols (inc. IAX2 and SIP), and
codecs: G729, G723, iLBC, GSM and G711.
Also, their development team is very responsive, so any problems you run
into you can usually work around.
You might also contact people selling PA168 devices. They support iLBC, GSM,
G729, G729, and G711. As well, they support MGCP, H323, SIP, IAX2 and
Net2Phone. You should be able to find them for ~$50 or so (plus shipping) if
placing 100+ units.

It says other services aren't covered, because they do not allow to place

Places controlled by backwards thinking people do silly things like try to
stop technology (I'm living in Guatemala). But A: If they just block ports,
it doesn't do much. B: If they scan for SIP/RTP, then move to IAX as it'll
be much harder to capture that traffic.

Hello,
We're looking at Signate PBX (www.signate.com) to use in a service
provider scenario, and wanted to know if others on the list have used it,
and if so, any comments or feedback you have regarding this product.It
looks quite impressive. Seems to do everything Asterisk can do, and

As others have said, you have to open your source that is GPL-derived.
However, if all your interface does is edit Asterisk config files, there's
nothing to release. If you actually patch asterisk or write an app for it,
you'd need to release that part. If you just use AGI or similar, you
wouldn't
The IAX2 protocol itself doesn't allow for the same scenarios as SIP,
intrinsically.
However, this is a Good Thing(tm)! I like having an implementation that's 3
times as small as SIP, for starters.
You can accomplish the same billing scenarios using an out of band
