Many people on this list will advise you to use a SIP proxy like
OpenSER in front of Asterisk to take care of SIP registrations - I'll do
the same. ;->

I've seen comments similar to this going around a lot and I've never
really understood it. I guess maybe I won't understand it until I am
in a situation where I need to handle a huge call volume and hundreds
or thousands of users (I.E. probably never). In my situation, using
Asterisk as a distributed PBX with Snom SIP phones I haven't had any
problems at all with the asterisk end of the system. All of my
problems, and I have to stress they are MINOR problems have been
related to interfacing to the analog PSTN. I have not not meshed all
of the branch offices together yet, so I may run into further issues
there, but all of the inter-office calling will be handled by IAX
trunking. I really like these Snom 300 phones as far as audio quality
goes. I wish they had a few more programmable buttons but that was a
purchasing oversight. We underestimated the number of programmable
buttons we would need and opted for the 300 instead of the 360. I also
wished they used IAX. It's fairly obvious during the software update
process thatthey run either a Linux or BSD derivative so it shouldn't
be too difficult to develop an IAX firmware for them, even if it has to
be done by a third party. I wonder why more vendors haven't adopted
IAX yet?<br>
