[Freeswitch-users] what happened to iax

Hi,
  There is another solution.

As discussed at Cluecon.
There is most of the iax code available in the opal/ptlib libraries.

Sure - opal&ptlib don't build in freeswitch - some issue about this was 
mentioned at cluecon this year. However, the build script in freeswitch 
(from when I last looked) uses a branch version of ptlib and trunk version 
of opal.. Not a good mix. Better to use the trunk revision of ptlib&opal 
-- where ptlib&opal come from the same SVN revision number.

Ok - there needs to be an iax registrar put into the opal code - bounties 
anyone? and you never know - it would be quite doable..

The voip protocol side of iax is useful - and great for people to use when
connecting from an unknown position to some server on the public internet.
Sufficiently useful to make it worth using.

Who is game to work with me in getting the answer?

Derek.
