<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’m quite fond of CVS-Stable 10-26-04 as it’s
always been fine. One thing I noticed with this version and all versions prior,
when I did a “sip show channels” it always displayed info in all
caps. But sometime between 10-26-04 and 12-8-04 they changed this to all lower
case. I believe this MAY be related to the latest problem I just fixed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>My provider was sending me incoming calls via an
unauthenticated SIP stream, I’d have it match up somewhere in my
[incoming] context and it’d be fine. However, they sent it to me in G711
ULaw and Asterisk kept complaining it wasn’t able to find a compatible
codec. My sip.conf clearly had:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>but it did not work. I could place outbound calls to that
provider using ulaw, that was fine. The way I fixed it was by DOWNGRADING from
12-8-04 back to 10-26-04 and now the calls come through fine, same exact
configuration. I think maybe the provider is sending the codec as something
like “ULAW” and Asterisk would always catch this and use the proper
codec. But the 12-8-04 version was looking for “ulaw” so when the
provider sent “ULAW” it didn’t recognize it and gave me the
error. This is a guess, but I know that without a doubt, downgrading fixed the
issue. I noticed when I upgraded to 1-6-05 on another server (about a week old)
that when I did “sip show channels” that it still displayed things
in lower case. So I wonder if this issue would still be present? My upstream
provider doesn’t use Asterisk, they use SER and other Hardware-based SIP
Telco equipment, do you think the bug is with SER or the Telco equipment? I
know that they have a TON of other clients and they all use ULaw without
problems. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’m going to have my provider give me a new phone
number and direct it to my other Asterisk server running 1-6-05 and see if it
takes it. If it doesn’t, I think I can at least submit a bug report. Has
anybody else seen/heard of anything like this? Was this already fixed and
I’m just dumb?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
