[Asterisk-Users] 'connecting' voip-numbers to our Asterisk

[Evert Meulie]

Hi!

Sample configuration or other documentation from the provider? Hmm, 
haven't received any!  :-/
all I got was username & password...

Is there a way (perhaps with sipsak?) to determine what kind of 
server/system they are running?

If their system is not IAX-compatible, what are my options then for 
routing incoming, outgoing or both via this voip-provider?

Greetings,
    Evert
