[asterisk-users] Softphones IAX vs. SIP, remote connectivity.

[Bruce Reeves]

Micheal,

I do this with the zip version of idefisk avaliable here :
http://asteriskguru.com/tools/idefisk_windows.php

I download and extract the files the run the phone and configure the
settings and the speed dials, all of which is stored in the folder with the
application. I then zip it up and email it with instructions to unzip and
run the program. Works great on my thumb drive also.
