[Asterisk-Users] SIP client to IAXTel 800/888/877/866 dialing thru Asterisk

[Dameon D. Welch-Abernathy]

Through my Asterisk server, I am trying to use IAXTel to dial 800-type
numbers (yes, I know I can do the same thing with FWD and others via
SIP, but I wanted to play with IAX a little). It appears I'm running
into some sort of a codec mismatch or something because it's not working
right. The SIP client is a SPA-3000. 

In iax.conf, I have something like the following:

[General]
disallow=all
allow=ilbc
allow=adpcm
allow=g726
allow=gsm
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw

register => user:pass at iaxtel.com

[iaxtel]
type=friend
host=iaxtel.com
secret=password
auth=rsa
context=from-iaxtel
inkeys=iaxtel

The sip.conf has similar settings in the General section related to
codecs. The codec on the SPA-3000 is forced to G.711 (the only thing it
talks to directly is my Asterisk server). 

When I make a call to a number on IAXTel (e.g. 1-700-VOXILLA), it works
fine. If I try and call an 800 number, I don't get any audio. However,
it appears the IAX side of the equation isn't negotiating a codec right.
Furthermore, the SIP side is choosing the wrong codec (though I've tried
putting allow=ulaw first and it still didn't help)

Is there a problem with iaxtel? Any ideas?
