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

I think this is a job for muggins!

I still think muggins would like to try this one, or Newcrest maybe, they've both compiled and tested several VOIP apps before, and I think this commandline programmable one is going to be a winner. Will it connect successfully with Gizmo5? I imagine it will.

Alas, I have no time to do any more computing for one month, (or I'd have done tried it already) - since flying away in 2 weeks time and in process of getting organised.

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.

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

I've been able to make calls with it

eh how?

The prog is running but from the documentation I could not work out much . . .
Do we need a server?
How does one obtain or use a Sip address?
Did you phone to a mobile phone?

How can we set up a one to one call?
Who is up for it?
What do I do?

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 . . .

Lobster wrote:sip: 17473301020@prox

Yeah all Gizmo accounts have a SIP address like sip:1747#######@proxy01.sipphone.com
So to start pjsua with your gizmo account you should be able to run it like this:
./pjsua --id sip:17473301020@proxy01.sipphone.com --registrar sip:proxy01.sipphone.com --realm proxy01.sipphone.com --username 17473301020 --password yourpassword

When I use this with my gizmo account though, I'm having the same problem as you with the audio being sounding like a robot… For some reason it sounds okay with accounts on other SIP providers I've tried. (freecall.com and callwithus.com are good cheap ones) But there is still a constant jitter in all my calls, and my microphone isn't being recognized at all.

To make a call in pjsua, type m and press enter. Then type in the SIP address to call and press enter. The SIP address for a PSTN phone # looks like this: sip:1##########@proxy01.sipphone.com (Or if not using gizmo, it's at a different domain of course)

Also, you don't necessarily need a registrar server to use SIP. If you have a client like pjsua running, you can use your ip address as a SIP address (sip:###.###.###.###). But then you can't call out to the PSTN and you might have firewall issues or something.

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 . . .

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

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?

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.

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

I wanted to test out FreeBasic . . .

gtkdialog would be more efficient for small progs like this
- use the included graphic if useful

Everyone attempting a prog in gtkdialog3 . . .
Barry mentions on his blog for 23 Jun 2008
this directory in Dingo - slight differences in the 4.1 Alpha gives examples

but change
this bottom line on all code to

This part of the code that Grant (smokey01) mentions
can have as many sip numbers as possible during testing (available in Gizmo)

I have added Aitch in the above snippet of the config file
the numbers and names are equivalent - numbers is what you see when viewing profile . . .

added here under Puppy buddies . . . more welcome
http://tmxxine.com/wik/wikka.php?wakka=PuppySip

Update - this rudimentary program now available for testing
see first post in this thread for latest release

Now updated 25 June to merge with CEL's code and drop the FreeBasic Part
CEL's code implemented - not tested
Smokey01 aka Grants config file with extra SIP numbers . . .

you should change the cofig1.cfg
to match your details, like so:

Ok...I got past the registering on PuppySip

my login is caneri@proxy01.sipphone.com

All I have heard so far is machine guns but maybe my local router is in the way as NAT is not working/configured I think...I guess...doh..hmmm

By the way @ Lobster...I love the front end gui picture

Eric

Glad you liked the Sip pic Eric,

had a go connecting with Tom and we also got the machine gun effect
not sure what parameters to change though - so advisement welcome . . .
It is getting the right commands here maybe . . .
http://www.pjsip.org/pjsua.htm

I spent another few hours trying to get the voice to work. I still have machine gun affect.

I have been scouring through the FAQ and help on the PJSIP site but no solution yet.

I wonder if the Gizmo server might be the problem. Maybe we could try another SIP server, anyone got any suggestions.

Has anyone tried an IP to IP connect yet?

I'm also going to post a message on the PJSIP site and try and find someone with experience. This may save us some time, although it is fun to play it's starting to get frustrating.

Smokey

Lobster, have you checked this out?

Twinkle. Is quite small and open source.
