RE: What are the system requirements to run the Communicator?

Thank you, Yana!

So, any Windows OS will do?
We're using Asterisk; do some telephony platforms work
better with the
Communicator than others?

  Also, we *are* doing some in-house development and because
we are having
some trouble getting 2-way communication on some of our
machines, I wondered
if using non-1.4 Java to code and build might be causing
some of our issues.

Not officially. As far as I know most developers are using
machines with 
about 1GB RAM and around 2GHz CPU. I guess you could also
run SIP 
Communicator on less than that but I doubt you'd get
reasonable 
performance with less than 256MB RAM and 1 GHz CPU.

There has been some talk about moving to 1.5 as a minimum
requirement 
but I don't think that, as of now, we have settled on an
official 
migration schedule.

Therefore, in case you are planning on making contributions
to the SIP 
Communicator project, it would indeed be appreciated that
you try to 
keep the 1.4 compatibility. Otherwise, in case you are
developing 
modules for your own use you are free to use whatever J
version best 
suits you.

I guess so, though I don't know whether anyone has tested it
against Win 
95/98/ME.

We are doing most of our testing against an Asterisk
ourselves. I think 
that others have also successfully used SIP Communicator
with SER and 
OpenSER.

I've been hearing stories about audio capture problems with
J 1.5, but 
it's supposed to be ok with 1.4 and 1.6. Therefore, if
you're doing your 
tests with 1.5, you may want to switch to 1.6 and give them
a try with it.

Hi,
  Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

  We're using ver=1.0-alpha2-0.build.

  If I type "sip show settings", asterisk displays
 NAT:  RFC3581 under
Default Settings.
I don't know how to check if there is nat between SC and *.

    thanks, Rob

which version of sip-communicator you are using as there
were recently 
some bug fixes on this issues.
Also if there is nat between SC and * make sure nat=yes is
set in * (if 
you haven't set it).
