I have been using freeswitch for over a year and I love all of the features, extensibility etc. Recently one of the clients wanted to use a IAX client and call from the IAX client works fine but there was one feature requested by my client that did not work. The feature is the "IAX Transfer" and I see the Transfer message come through by turning up debugging in the iax.conf file but freeswitch does not do anything with it. What is the current status of IAX support on freeswitch?
mod_iax was one of the first endpoint modules made in FS and it has seen little attention since it was first added. The primary purpose of the module was to have alternate endpoints to help work on the abstraction concepts in the core. Since it actually works, we left it in. But we really don't have any plans to do much else with it. The IAX lib we use in mod_iax is a heavily modified version of the iax client lib used in most iax softphones, its was really only designed for one or 2 calls max. An open source and liberally licensed (BSD/MIT) IAX library that is scalable and meets all of the programmatic challenges presented by the iax spec is really needed to advance the protocol any further. In addition a few enhancements should be made to the protocol to improve it's scalability in general. On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 10:45 AM, Gu Sh <gshfreesw@gmail.com> wrote:

Basically unsupported, the module still builds and sort of works, but there isn't much interest in maintaining it. It would definitely be a lot better for IAX lovers if someone wanted to take on maintaining it, or fund its maintenance. -Ray

IAX transfer is not supported and no one has really touched that module in a couple years. If anyone is interested in enhancing that module we would be glad to accept patches to improve it but we have no roadmap plans to add anything to it. Mike
