[asterisk-users] Attempt to Originate between IAX2/xxxx and an application hangs until timeout in 1.8.8.1

One good thing is now that you know what the problem is you should be able to work with zopier support and get them to fix zopier. They have been very responsive to a couple problems I have and I am running the free version.
