IAXComm


http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net/iaxcomm

IAX softphone for Windows, Linux & Mac OS X

Features:

  • Register with multiple servers (ie enterprise server and iaxtel).
  • Multiple call appearances.
  • User selectable audio devices.
  • User defined ringtones.
  • Autoanswer intercom calls (with password protection).
  • Registration with an asterisk server prior to dialing is no longer required.
  • Simplified Directory dialogs.
  • Incoming callers automatically added to phone book.

Recent changes include:

  • Registration with an asterisk server prior to dialing is no longer required.
  • Simplified Directory dialogs.
  • No longer crashes on unexpected screen sizes.


There are Windows, Mac, and Linux versions



  • Uses the cross-platform WxWindows GUI library.
  • The Mac OS X version (I don't know about the other editions) is buggy and quirky. It crashes, and it messes up enough that you often need to log out of Mac OS X and log in again to be able to use IAXComm again. But IAXComm is the only IAX client available for Mac OS X. So live with it.

Asterisk Setup Notes

  • All IAX accounts that are being accessed by IAXComm must have `qualify=no` set, or you will recieve Peer is now UNREACHABLE messages in Asterisk and the client will no longer be able to recieve inbound calls.
  • Accounts must not have the username parameter set or authentication will fail.

maybe you used an older version, but now, iaxcomm supports GSM, Speex, iLBC, a-law, and u-law. The default settings, however, are to only use GSM.

333IAXComm only supports GSM codec

IAXCOmm only supports the GSM codec. Worse yet, it does not seem to properly inform the other end of the IAX connection that it can not handle other codecs. So IAXComm works fine for me unless the remote tries to change codecs, then it loses audio.

333Iaxcomm on Slackware 9.1

by , Wednesday 02 of June, 2004 [04:35:37 UTC]
Using the "Pre CVS 28 Feb 2004" version. Works fine on most hosts with Asterisk. On others it seems to crash with "hung audion thread!".

No option to use esd or arts so using other audio programs with iaxcomm is problematic.

Sent in some bug reports and patches but got no response.

My main problem getting started was I kept trying Dial(IAX/user) instead of Dial(IAX2/user)
