Summary:                    IAX2 Retry Time Review
Description: 
Guys,

The IAX2 channel driver has a number of timeout settings for
communication. I have found that customers with network problems are not
particularly benefitted by these timeouts because they are so incredibly
high.

If you look at the maths, it will be at least 30 seconds with absolutely
no traffic before a DIAL on an IAX2 host fails. However, a SIP peer with
qualify=yes defaults to 2000ms. I recommend that the 2 seconds timeout
should be applied to dialling on IAX trunks also.

Patch attached for your consideration. I have tested this in production
use with good results.

Cheers
Leo
