asterisk users - Aug 2005 - Can call from iax extn but cannot call it - unable to cteate channel iax

Hello

I have created an iax exten in my iax.conf file:

[300]
type=friend
username=300
secret=***
context=default
host=dynamic
callerid="some name" <300>
auth=md5

Then in my extensions.conf I have:

exten => 300,1,Dial(IAX/${EXTEN},20)
exten => 300,2,Hangup

I can dial from iaxComm (a soft IAX client) and that works fine.  But when I 
try to dial 300 get:

WARNING[22077]: channel.c1970 ast_request: No channel type registered for 
'IAX'
NOTICE[22077]: app_dial.c:777 dial_exec: Unable to create channel of type 
'IAX'

I have restarted Asterisk after config change.

What have I not done.  I am just testing the iaxComm program.

Try IAX2

You have not used a correct Technology in your dial command.

The 'show application dial' says:
Dial(Technology/resource[&Technology2/resource2...][|timeout][|options][|URL])

Technology is the chan_xxxx.so file loaded and resource is the defined in
the configuration file for the technology.

So either you need a chan_iax.so - OR - you need to READ the
extension.conf
file.  I have never seen a dial command like yours.  One that is VERY
close
is one like Dial(IAX2/${EXTEN},20)

I am not just picking on you Angus.  I do tend to read almost every
message
coming through the list and I get tired of reading all the questions that
5 minutes of reading the configuration files or searching the wiki (as out
of date as it is) or even typing 'help' at the CLI prompt can remedy.

Guess I'm just getting old...

Hi Angus,
             If you can send your general settings of iax.conf may be
I can work it out.

Gurminder
