What do you mean with 'not reliable' ? It is reliable and if there are any problems, the blame is on Siemens's developers (who, as it looks, do not have any clue about H.323 protocol) and their HG1500 module. I really doubt if Asterisk can do the "H323 job" better than GnuGK :) You have to reread my message again. Btw, which version is your HG-1500 ? If it is > 2, I would be happy to see if they have improved it and what exactly they have improved. I am really astonished that a company like Siemens has released on the market such a "product" like HG-1500. It is just unusable, lacks of a lot of configurable options like "Fast / slow start", "H245 tunelling or not" , disable/enable VAD, setting up the RRQ timeout and many others... ... They had just to take a look to a Micronet/Welltech gateway (in example) + the manual and the lightbulb shall turn on :) On Thursday 06 January 2005 12:29, Joao Pereira wrote: > It seems that the direct connection between GNUGK and HG-1500 is very > complicated and not reliable...
