[Asterisk-Users] IAXy reliability issues

[Paul Fielding]

Hmmm.... I could certainly see that being the issue.  If it is the issue, 
though, then I think it's something that needs to be addressed.

In my opinion, Digium needs to address it, as well as the whole provisioning 
via cli thing.  I know Asterisk itself is a CLI oriented piece of software, 
but the more one can do do decrease configuration timing and issues the 
better off one is.   I think it would be a benefit to allow the IAXy to be 
programmed via web interface.

For that matter, from what I can tell via my own experimentation, it appears 
that you cannot use DNS to define the asterisk server to it.  This is bad, 
since it means that if the IP of the asterisk server changes, you need to 
directly reprovision *all* of your IAXy devices....

For a new product, it has potential, hopefully these things will be 
addressed....

regards

Paul
