[Asterisk-Users] iconnecthere 480 error: is there a workaround?

[Dan Fernandez]

I have tried with iconnect sofphone calling, hanging up, and calling
immediately and did not have any problems as you do with *. I think the
problem is with the * and not with iconnect.

I get the 480 error more often than you do, and when I am able to connect, I
can only hear the other ends voice for a few seconds with a horrible quality
(I have tried with all the codecs) and get the following errors:

Mar  6 05:49:20 DEBUG[5126]: File chan_sip.c, Line 3155 (handle_request):
That's odd...  Got a response on a call we dont know
 about.
Mar  6 05:49:21 DEBUG[5126]: File chan_sip.c, Line 3155 (handle_request):
That's odd...  Got a response on a call we dont know
 about.
Mar  6 05:49:44 DEBUG[5126]: File chan_sip.c, Line 3159 (handle_request):
Ignoring out of order response 105 (expecting 101)
Mar  6 05:49:48 DEBUG[5126]: File chan_sip.c, Line 3159 (handle_request):
Ignoring out of order response 106 (expecting 101)
debug

and if I look at the sip debug I see a lot of INVITE restransmits.

The bottom line is that I have not been able to make calls with iconnect
yet. What codec are you using?
When I first started using iconnect  with their dialer (I have a 64k
broadband connection) the call quality was very poor. I then contacted them
and asked them to changed the codec and they did to g723. The call quality
with their dialer is excelent!
