Download Yate 1.0.0

Yate, short for Yet another telephony engine, is a telephony engine written in C++ and now focuses mainly on VoIP. It is easy to expand and can therefore also be used for video or data transfer and instant messaging. Examples of applications are as an H.323 gatekeeper, SIP router, IVR engine or VoIP to PSTN gateway. Support for scripting via PHP and Python is available.
