[Asterisk-Users] Firefly and asterisk*

[FastJack]

GREAT!!! Just got my asterisk* calling firefly users. Setup was really easy:
just add an extention

exten => _8XXXXXXX,1,Answer
exten => _8XXXXXXX,2,DigitTimeout,5
exten => _8XXXXXXX,3,ResponseTimeout,10
exten =>
_8XXXXXXX,4,Dial,IAX2/*YOUR_FIREFLY_NUMBER*:*YOUR_PASSWORD*@firefly.virbiage
.com/${EXTEN}|60|T

now I can call users in the firefly-network from every phone that is
connected to my asterisk*-box.

I also added a register => ... entry to my iax.conf but this doesn't seam to
work.

Anyone knows how to receive calls on my asterisk*-box from the
firefly-network?

thanks!

Hi,

I downloaded this the other day and finally got it to stop crashing. It
appears that any response from asterisk
that implies an error (for example dialing a non-existant number, using the
wrong password, selecting a codec
that you've configured a local * not to use etc) resulted in a crash. I've
only tested the IAX proto not sip or your
own network. running XP with uptodate patches on a local lan.

When it works it works really well, although I don;t particularly like in
initial beep and end beep when i make
a call (I haven't played with all the options so it may be that I can turn
this off).. sound quality is good. All in all
a nice little app. Are you planning on allowing other people to run your
server side (like Jabber does) in their
environments?

If you need any further debugging info on the crashes, let me know...

HTH

Andy
