Yeah, FWD has been pretty good about their beta of the IAX2 support. My
* server has been on it for 6 months without too much trouble. I even
use it to bridge out to Signate.co.uk where my boss has an account. It
was crystal clear last night from Houston TX to Cambridge UK. Dead
reliable.

I'm dropping my IAXTel registration when next I get around to such
things.
