[asterisk-users] Best and easiest soft phone for my Dad..

[Jaswinder Singh]

Get portsip ( www.portsip.com  ) its realtively easy to configure ( just
push in user/password and server name at startup ) .. there might be NAT
issue so make sure you have nat=yes in ur asterisk's sip.conf for the peer
definition . If it still doesnt work then you need to find a iax phone like
zoiper ( http://www.zoiper.com/  previously idefisk ).
