Old mail I stored for the future for when I have time to look at asterisk 
again.

Like now  :-)

Basically, I'm going over the scripts/files and resetting and testing.  This 
is still a test system, but I thought I would give some feedback.

I didn't need the context=WORLD

My extensions.conf has the following for international calls.  Any comments 
appreciated :-

[globals]
TRUNK=IAX2/user at nufone


[int-trunks]
;
exten => _9011.,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:1})
exten => _9011.,2,Congestion


I found I had echo in that I could hear my voice about a third of a second 
later.
It turned out that one of the many sets of scripts I had been testing had a 
high tx and rx gain setting.
When I  changed the settings to :-

echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
relaxdtmf=yes
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0

in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf

the issue went away.

YMMV

Ahhh...secrets...What's it got in its pockets ?
