[Asterisk-Users] IAXy setup

[Steve Totaro]

Ah, I see your point and apologize for the misunderstanding.  Large
deployments could be a problem, thats for sure.

If you need the MAC address I would suggest a cheap Dell wireless router (as
many others do I am sure) as it logs the MAC addy along with the DHCP addy.
