VoIP Mailing List Archives

[asterisk.org at sedwar...]

I'm fighting a losing battle with voiptalk.org in the UK.

After a silly address verification process ("send us a copy of your
landline bill"), waiting a couple of days (it was a weekend...),
configuration issues, and glacial customer support ("We currently have a
5-7 day update time on standard voiptalk support.") I finally got a
DID/DDI configured to use IAX.

Now I learn that they don't support registration!

They say "IAX will not work with our service without a public IP address
or FQDN." (I think he meant to say "Our service requires a static public
IP address or a FQDN that resolves to a static public IP address.")

I really want to use my Asterisk server at home which sits behind a router
and is on an RFC1918 address.

One of their configuration options is to use an IAXy.

I can't/won't put my IAXy on a static public IP address so this may be a
deal killer.

In any case, will an IAXy work without registering to an IAX server?

If I configure their server's IP address in the IAXy and they reject the
registration request, will the IAXy still work?

At least the web site is pretty

Thanks in advance,
