I stand corrected. It's EXACTLY the same behavior as 1.4.29, The
Status shows OK (XX ms) and the IP is "(null)"

I've been experimenting with qualifyfreqok and qualifyfreqnotok and
just by specifiying _any_ values for these parameters it makes matters
much worse.

A re-registration every 3 seconds seems to do the trick but why can't
qualify keep the connection alive??

popular even though most of the older concerns about IAX should be
gone by now. We really want to support and keep investing into making
IAX work for us but the little support we get here is really
discouraging.
