We have the same problem as you. Manu could ring me successfully using my linphone proxy ID, and I could connect out to the CCWG, but the voice and chat channels would not connect. So then it timed out. Manu thinks it might be a firewall issue at the ISP blocking some of the channels, but I have tried 3 different ISPs and get the same result each time. So either many ISPs do not like SIP, or there is a different problem which we can't identify regards David > I'm technical enough that pointers to > troubleshooting information or a 'known good' config would be enough for > me to figure it out. > > So I revert to POTS... > > thanks > andrew. > > *Andrew Hughes *CISM CISSP > Independent Consultant > *In Turn Information Management Consulting* > > o +1 650.209.7542 > m +1 250.888.9474 > 1249 Palmer Road, > Victoria, BC V8P 2H8 > AndrewHughes3000@gmail.com <mailto:AndrewHughes3000@gmail.com> > ca.linkedin.com/pub/andrew-hughes/a/58/682/ > <http://ca.linkedin.com/pub/andrew-hughes/a/58/682/> > *Identity Management | IT Governance | Information Security * > > > On Sun, Oct 22, 2017 at 7:37 AM, Manu Sporny <msporny@digitalbazaar.com > <mailto:msporny@digitalbazaar.com>> wrote: > > On 10/21/2017 07:25 PM, Christopher Allan Webber wrote: > > You won't have a way for people to dial in via traditional phone > > lines though. > > This is why just about every other VoIP only solution has failed at > scale at W3C.
