Thanks, Damien.

I have registered an account with ekiga.net and tried to setup a 
users.conf entry for my ekiga account on the Asterisk server.

My Asterisk server doesn't seem to get involved in the attempts to make 
SIP calls, so how do I use my ekiga account my to make SIP calls, when 
X-lite only allows me to register one account (and that has to be on my 
Asterisk server)?

I have tried to use Asterisk as a proxy server in the X-lite config, but 
then every call fails with "Caller not found"

Do I need to use SER as well as Asterisk?

Ken.
