[asterisk-users] gtalk2voip and Asterisk

[Mani Sridhar]

hi,
i was able to get this working with google talk.

i entered myusername at gmail.com using the gtalk2voip.com website's "invite" 
box, and as a result, saw a request from service at gtalk2voip.com to be added 
as a buddy in my google talk contact list. i accepted the request.

in my asterisk dialplan, i have this entry...

exten => 3501, 1, Dial(SIP/myusername_at_gmail.com at gtalk.gtalk2voip.com)

this allows any extension in my asterisk box to dial 3501, and 
myusername at gmail.com receives the call on the google talk client. the call 
is established, and voice quality is good.

to allow a call from google talk client for myusername at gmail.com, i opened a 
chat window to the buddy service at gtalk2voip.com and typed "call 
ABC at mysipdomain.com", and this made extension ABC on my asterisk box start 
ringing. again, the call was established, and audio was ok.

as far as asterisk is concerned, this is a SIP call. bottomline - it's a 
good alternative to using the native jabber/jingle library in asterisk 1.4 .

in fact, i haven't been able to get asterisk to successfully set up a call 
to googletalk using the chan_gtalk module . i am inside a NAT-ed LAN, and 
audio works in one direction only for the asterisk (SIP) - gtalk call. 
anyone else got asterisk - googletalk using chan_gtalk working?
