After some more experimentation, I'd like to document my findings for anyone considering to use SmartVoip or any other betamax-based providers with Ekiga:
1) My points 3-4) are basically invalid. Points 1-2) still stand. 2) Number format is described correctly. 3) What results in the random inability to connect is the failure to negotiate suitable voice codec. As I could notice, betamax primarily uses PCMU / PCMA codecs for voice and if you have Speex enabled it just somehow enters in an infinite loop trying to negotiate and re-negotiate the codecs over and over again. So what you have to do if you consider primarily using betamax is to disable Speex in Ekiga settings and use the arrows to bring PCMU / PCMA up as the codecs of choice and everything gonna work. Latest Ekiga backports for Hardy are available from my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~zyv/+archive/ppa Happy VOIP'ing! -- "security check failed" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
