<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Hi list!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I tried: Trunks -> Service Provider -> "+ New Service Provider".</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">But the only possibility is to select between "Bandwith (SIP), Simple Signal (SIP), Voice Pulse (SIP and Voice Pulse (AIX). Hitting the ADD-Button only works if I previously marked one of those mentioned providers. How is that list made up. Where does the data come from (providers.conf)? But the original providers.conf comes with more data than just for those 4. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I tried to add a provider manually by changing the file providers.conf under /etc/asterisk but that didnīt work at all (the new provider doesnīt even get listed. There are already even more providers listed (IAXTEL, bandwidth, VoicePulse-sip, VoicePulse-iax, simplesignal, ngt) within providers.conf rather than those 4 available in the selection box of the Asterisk GUI.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Strange ....</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Anyhow, but how to add providers such as bluesip, sipgate, 1&1, ... ? Meaning a provider that is yet NOT listed in the list of, say "available" providers?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I would expect that I would be asked a couple of questions (mainly those data that getīs written to "providers.conf"). Plus a possibility to upload a graphic for the provider. But: now way!</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">However (which doesnīt imply that Iīm happy with the workaround!) I was able to add SIP-providers via Trunks -> VOIP Trunks -> "+ New SIP/IAX Trunk" but those data ends up in the file users.conf.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Is that the way it should work? Then please explain the sense thatīs behind the providers.conf data !?!</FONT>
