[Aaug] In the dark

[cfowler]

I think that was a good idea.

buford-pbx*CLI> iax2 show registry
Host                  Username    Perceived             Refresh  State
8.11.164.234:4569     15135       <Unregistered>             60  Request
Sent

PBX has sent a request but no response.  I can easily write a poller to
monitor that every 60s.  I guess voipjet is down.
