Thanks for your help Damien. As mentioned before, Twinkle (SIP client) works OK and is stable with the same VoIP account on the same machine here. That is what makes me believe that this is an Ekiga issue. Have tried it from my Fedora laptop as well. Same results. Too bad ...  Ekiga is so much better than the other VoIP clients, so that is why I am really desperate to get it to work.

Will continue testing, googling etc. Again thanks for your help today and will report back once I find the cause.

Bas.
