[asterisk-users] [Softphones] ZoIPer vs. XLite?

[Tim H. Panton]

Jared was talking about a decent IAX hardphone on this list a week or so back,
I don't recall the make.

If you use IAX, all you need to do is :
  1) set your local firewall to forward udp 4569 to asterisk. 
(optionally filtering by from IP address if your user has a 
fixed IP address or known range)
  2) have your ZOIPer or other IAX phone register with asterisk every 60 
seconds.
  3) configure an IAX 'friend' account for your user.

You should not need to make _any_ changes to the firewall at the
remote end (unless they block all outgoing UDP).

Tim.

Hello

	I need to hook up someone's remote PC onto our Asterisk server over
the Net. There are firewalls on each side, so I figured it's time to
give IAX a try, and see if it's less of a pain to use than SIP. And
since IAX hardphones are pretty are, I guess I'll go softphone.

Apparently, the two most well-known IAX and SIP clients for Windows
are ZoIPer and X-Lite, respectively.

For those of you have tried both, especially in a context with NAT
firewalls on both sides, what's the outcome? Did you stick to ZoIPer,
or is it not good on par with X-Lite? Are other clients I should know
about?

Thanks.
