Marking as low priority as IAX is not a standard, it will have lower priority than other standard protocols.
There is basic IAX2 support in opal... so there is hope for the future, but it is of lower priority. Snark on #gnomemeeting

There is already an open-source implementation of IAX: http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net/iaxcomm/index.html - maybe the code is reuseable?
Notice that Stephen Cook is working on this for google's Summer Of Code 2006 ; so you should see things improve soon :-)
I'm just curious since it's not the winter of cold has any progress been made on this. I'm not a much of a coder but I'm willing to help.
If I recall well, the support is in opal ; it just takes little to add it to ekiga. Unfortunately, we don't have that much free time those days, so things do get very slow. In fact, currently we're pondering adding features vs cleaning bug reports. It is an important feature though, so it will be in cvs some day.
It will be included in 3.00.
Pushing priority up, since we're getting near.
What is the status of this? I seem to remember there was one outstanding bug. It obviously did make 3.0.0. Is there a chance of this for 3.0.1?
Definitely not 3.0.1. IAX2 is ready in OPAL, though, but 3.0.1 is a bugfix and-what-else-not release.
Seems a not too difficult bug, and is a very old one => setting milestone to 3.4.0
So, we're hopefully nearing 2011 and as far as I know OPAL had been supporting IAX2 for a pretty long period (two years, maybe longer). Are there any chances to see IAX2 support in Ekiga in the near future? Let's say, should one expect it to be done before 2012?
Despite what I said two comments above, there will be no support until someone can test it and creates a patch for it. Unfortunately, we currently do not have such a person.
Does IAX2 still make much sense in 2013?
