That said, your software is a really good looking one. You make me wish I had a Mac handy :)

Thanks for those kind words!

Well, let’s face it, FWD isn’t the most reliable network on the planet. I have tried to connect to them during the day, and the server has been down for most of that time. This is not unusual unfortuanly. I’ll try to find another free voip provider for testing.

IAX uses only one port. So if your ISP doesn’t explicitly block that port, it should work.

Awesome piece of software! And really nice website :) I was just wonderind if JackenIAX does NAT traversal automatically? I'm having a hard time connecting to FWD at the moment, but I'm behind a real pain for a NAT network, and I don't have control over it! :(</p><p>Cheers, Piet</p> Hey there! Awesome piece of software!

==========================

Hello!

We see you are still making calls to our old SIP server. Therefore you receive this message

Soon we will shut down our old asterisk servers. The exact shutdown date has not been decided yet but will be some time soon. We are sending this email now so you have plenty of time to move to our new SIP system. When a shutdown-date has been decided then we will announce the date again.

How to move:

Connect your SIP device or softphone to our new SIP server with the same username & password as you are using now

the old sip server you are connecting to now: sip.voipbuster.com the new sip server you have to change to: sip1.voipbuster.com

On the new SIPserver there is no GSM codec support for now, but this WILL be supported before we shutdown the old servers, in the meantime use G711alaw (no ulaw!) or G726

the advantage of the new SIP server:

  • VOIP-IN SUPPORT!!
  • better audio quality!
  • soon: codec support for iLBC / G729 / G723 / GSM
  • soon: P2P calls

For IAX users:

We know some of you asterisk-users will not be happy with it but IAX will reach end-of-life soon too. So if you use asterisk and use IAX to make calls, migrate to SIP!

Regards, VoipBuster
