[Asterisk-Users] Skype vs. an Xlite registered to Asterisk

[hugolivude]

Say, thanks to all you for your time in responding.

I hope I don't sound unappreciative (I have no time for flamers) but I don't
understand how changing from SIP to IAX would make any difference.  I don't
have any problems with the signalling (i.e. phones ring when I make and
receive calls), the problem is with the media.  Aren't the signalling
(IAX/SIP) and media (presumably a function of the codec) two seperate and
distinct domains?

Maybe I have it all wrong, so I'd be keen to learn what I'm missing.

Thanks again,
Hugh
