"Pjsua" that seems to do it all...

Here is the pjsua executable I've compiled for everyone's use. It's a nice 1.1mb when uncompressed. I've been able to make calls with it, but the sound is choppy. I think it might be just my machine, so let me know how it works for you.

I really like the idea of a gtkdialog frontend for this. We could have a Gizmo alternative in just a few megabytes! Very Puppy-like.

[Lobster]

Many thanks for compiling . . .
The raw material is now in place

OK found out my sip phone number

sip:crusty_lobster@proxy01.sipphone.com

Jack Tronkel has phoned me - no sound yet (sounding like a robot apparently) - so connection . . . of sorts . . .

Thanks CEL

I have created this rudimentary front end
which includes pjsua (the phone part)

http://tmxxine.com/sip/ps6.tar.gz

Now updated to include Smokey01 aka Grants
config file with extra Ip numbers . . .

If so this very simple prog can have those commands added
modification welcome . . .

[CEL]

Nice! But how can the program interface with pjsua to send commands once its running? Or would we just type them?

[Lobster]

You need variables and a programmer for that . . .


The most I have been able to do is send voice one way
Really what I have created is pre alpha - more buttons can be added

Sip phone numbers can be found in Gizmo (under personal profile)
right clicking - allows you to find others profile and their Sip numbers.

Can we register sip numbers somewhere?
Are there interfaces for pjsua written in C?
Can we phone Sip phones?

[CEL]

Ah, I see. Well I'm looking at gtkdialog now so we'll see if I'm able to come up with anything.

pjsua itself is written in C, as are the other pj… libraries, and they're meant to be able to be embedded. The site describes pjsua as a "High level SIP UA library, combining SIP and media stack into high-level easy to use API."

When a sip client "registers," it means that it is sending its server its location (IP address) so the server knows where to find it when another client wants to call it. Or do you mean a different kind of registering?

To call a sip phone from the PSTN (Public switched telephone network, aka traditional phones), you need to have a "DID" number (Direct Inward Dialing). This is a phone number that you buy and then calls to it are gatewayed to your SIP address. There is one site I know that provides DIDs for free: ipkall.com. (They have an odd business model but it works!)

Guys, I have some good news with the im part anyway.

The simple instructions:

Put the single file in /urs/bin/pjsua

from a terminal window type pjsua and you get the menu

What I did to advance past this stage was create a config file. You can name the config file anything you like. I actually created this file from scratch with geany.

It is possible to create the file from the menu with the dc (dump config) and f (save config) commands.

Here is an example what is in the config file:

#
# Logging options:
#
--log-level 5
--app-log-level 4

#
# Account 0:
#
--id sip:wombat01@proxy01.sipphone.com
--registrar sip:proxy01.sipphone.com
--reg-timeout 300
--realm *
--username wombat01
--password ***********

#
# Network settings:
#
--local-port 5060

#
# Media settings:
#
#using default --clock-rate 16000
#using default --quality 5
#using default --ec-tail 200
#using default --ilbc-mode 20
--rtp-port 4000

#
# User agent:
#
--max-calls 4

#
# Buddies:
--add-buddy=sip:crusty_lobster@proxy01.sipphone.com
--add-buddy=sip:puppyluvr@proxy01.sipphone.com
#

The im becomes easy to drive when using the config file.

To use the config file:

pjsua --config-file whatever.cfg

You will notice the config file above register me onto the gizmo server.

when I press the i command, it displays my buddy list:

See attachment.

Now you can select [1 - 2] press enter, then you can type your message and press enter to send it.

I tested it between two computer with different logins and it seemed to work fine. Both people have to be online for it to work. It seems to produce error messages if the receiving person is not online.

I'm still working on the voice quality. Currently it is machine gun like.

I did have limited success. On one call to lobster, the gizmo message said lobster was not available, played back perfectly. I have no idea what I did to make it work but I guess it does produce hope.

So far we have IM and Buddy Lists, next the world.
