Hi Geoff,

The problem is that I don't think Asterisk is causing the problem (not 
entirely anyway), I think its the internet and that IAX is too sensitive 
to packet loss so when the packet loss exceeds a certain threshold it 
just drops the call instead of trying to recover and maybe having a 
second or two gap in the voice..

The problem is that a) I can't confirm this because the log isn't clear 
to me and b) I wouldn't know where to go to try and make IAX more 
tolerant of lost packets..

My IAX connection runs over an ADSL line and it does get CRC errors and 
errored seconds occasionally (but these are very low) and obviously the 
internet is not a guaranteed delivery..

Later..
