[Iaxclient-devel] Introducing Firefly

[Adam H. <ad...@te...>]

After many months of development, I'm pleased to announced Firefly - an =
IAX soft phone and network.

The firefly softphone - free, runs under windows, allows connection to =
multiple networks, skinable interface, connection to firefly network, =
IAX2 protocol, (SIP in next release), codecs supported - iLBC, G.711 =
ulaw/alaw, GSM. - contact lists, selectable ringtones.

The firefly network - also free, runs on an enhanced version of IAX2 =
(simply uses IAX2 text messages for customised part), voicemail, text =
messaging, online presence, ability to indicate status (available, away, =
NA). I believe you can connect using a standard asterisk box but you'll =
miss out on the extended features. The network runs on iLBC so =
unforunately it won't work with most IAX2 clients (unless you get * to =
translate)

Thousands of people have used it but it's still regarded in beta, as we =
are still in heavy development (so expect a few bugs). It doesn't use =
iaxcomm as we needed our own framework to support sip, including our own =
jitterbuffer. If you don't wish to connect to the firefly network, click =
cancel when it asks you.

Coming soon features
SIP - in alpha, few bugs outstanding
music onhold - playing mp3s while the other party is onhold
fast audio - will reduce the latency by 40-50ms
speex - (if anyone wants it?)

Feel free to contact me on or off the list to report bugs and =
suggestions. I'll post everytime we release a new version (probably =
every week), including fixed bugs and new features
