We had a similar struggle with VICIDial during the initial setup. IT
took us a week to really get it done right. In the end, we found htat
having our SIP termination (rather than T1 circuits) helped
performance. We improved performance even further when we configured
a SIP gateway server with IAX to the VICIDial server. This worked
well for our overseas call center making US and UK calls.
Hi, We have been struggling to make VICIDial work without success.
