[Freeswitch-users] what happened to iax

[Anthony Minessale]

our current position on iax is as follows;

mod_iax is in the unsupported repo and already is probably not
compiling due to recent changes to the core.
The protocol exposed backwards incompatibilities that led to crashes
so we no longer trust it in our codebase.

We feel that in order to support IAX we either need to go with derek
and opal or build a completely standalone robust IAX stack which is a
much more complicated, expensive and almost academic of a solution at
this juncture.
