| host=dynamic
| context=sip
| mailbox=1000
| callerid="Stuart Grimshaw"
| permit=10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
|
| This setup was taken from the "Getting GnoPhone Working" section of
| voip-info
|
| extensions.conf has
|
| ;gnophone on douglas
| exten => 2,1,Dial(IAX/iaxdouglas,20,tr)
|
| iax2 show peers gives:
|
| iaxdouglas       (Unspecified)   (D)  255.255.255.255  0
| Unmonitored
|
| I get nothing in the asterisk console, even with iax2 debug turned on.
|
| Any ideas any one?

Gnophone only support IAX, not IAX2.  Apparently the latest versions of
Asterisk (at least what's available in Debian) ship with only IAX2 and
not IAX, so gnophone doesn't work them.

I've tried using iaxcomm, but I get scratchy, pulsating, popping audio.
~ The other end says that my voice quality is excellent but extremely
low.  When I used gnophone, there were no such complaints, except that
it sounds like I'm in a tin can or something like that, but the audio
level is much higher.
