[Asterisk-Users] Re: It's possible to do a codecs translation during a call in Asterisk?

Hi Matt,

I have a coupple of question yet,

Ok, as I see my current setup is:

          LAN                Internet                LAN
(IAXy A) ----> (Asterisk A) ---IAX2--> (Asterisk B) ----> (IAXy B)
         ADPCM                 ADPCM                ADPCM

I have in the iax.conf of Asterisk A: 

  "register => userA:pass at www.mysite_B.com:4569"

and in the iax.conf of the Asterisk B:

  "register => userB:pass at www.mysite_A.com:4569"

is that what you mean by "account for the IAX link"? if not please tell
me the correct way to do so.

YES! that makes a lot of sense and I think we are talking about the same
think! :-D
