Hi All;

I have been chocked just when I saw some posts talking
about how much the IAXy is bad -

So I would like to ask, did any one try it later and
wether it is good or not? I am asking this because I
need to use it as it is NAT Transparent (as I read
also, and I did not try it to see how much it is
transparent).

What about codec? Why it is only support g711 and does
not support compressed codec? And what about the IP
address and the DNS usage and the DDNS usage?

What main porblems contain and any advise?

Regards
Bilal

You will never get latency on a network low enough for echo to be
perceived as sidetone (like on analog). If you want to get rid of echo
you must cancel echo.

I guess I've never run asterisk without ANY echo cans It's just that
the echo was minor enough that MG2 et. al did a fine job.

Thanks!

I had a customer using an IAXY (old gen) for an FXO fax machine and it
worked almost all the time so it cannot be that bad.

Maybe because the fax was very old and did not have high transmit rates.

Thanks,

It's not bad in the sense of stability (well the original ones are
claimed to have overheating issues..).

But its that it lacks ANY features. The IAXy has no features at all.
Also no security, it MUST be placed behind a firewall, as the
configuration doesn't have any sort of security whatsoever. Did I
mention it has no features besides DHCP? Not even DNS.

Also it's very expensive. I could understand if it was a full-featured
device with a webinterface, DNS support & 2 Ethernet & phone ports I
wouldn't complain of the price. But it was released at approx USD $100
at a time when most full-featured adapters sold for a little less, and
still sells for $90 today. If they sold them for $40 I wouldn't bash
them either.. because honestly thats what they really should be worth.
I'd rather use a Grandstream HT than an IAXY honestly.

I have to chime in here to say that we have had an IAXy for four years
and it has given flawless service. Yes, it has no features like DNS
but we haven't required this. It's small and easily hidden in a home
or soho scenario and I've also used on the same network as the
asterisk box or on a network not too far away (like less that 50ms
lag). It works fine and has kept on working. All the rest of the
complaints are certainly true, but it works and it isn't some kind of
useless thing if that's the case.
