[Asterisk-Users] IAX2 Trunking help!

[David Cook]

So you're saying that the following would be the same?

iax.conf
[YOUR_REC_SERVER]
secret=mysecret
host=my.receiving.server.ca
context=local

extensions.conf
exten => _5XXX,1,Dial(IAX2/YOUR_REC_SERVER/${EXTEN})

If so, what about the type=peer/user/friend thing? I did read the docs
but maybe I'm thick. Maybe the visual person in me needs to see a matrix.

Further, If I can get two boxes to talk together like this, what exactly
is the "register" for ... what does it actually do?

dbc.
