[Asterisk-Users] New Windows IAX Client

[Steven Sokol]

Announcing a new Windows-based IAX/IAX2 client.  Please download it and
give it a try.  Let me know about any bugs, and any missing features.  I
have yet to come up with a catchy name for it, so at this point it calls
itself IAX Phone.  (Suggestions?  Non-derogatory suggestions,
preferably).

* Requires a small change to chan_iax2.c in order to return valid
message counts.  See the support page.

** Requires a special macro in extensions.conf that replaces the
caller's real number with a special Intercom indicator ID.  See the
support page.
