IAX2 support in OPAL is still very basic (at least as basic as SIP
support was present one year ago). You can not register to an IAX2
provider, you can not transfer calls, put a call on hold, and so on.

So there is much work to do in OPAL before having IAX2. I'm not ready to
undertake that work now. Adding support for it in GnomeMeeting would be
a 2 days work if the support was complete in OPAL :)

Yes, I hope it will be released in January or February 2006.
