   I tried another call to my cell phone and it went through normally.
   the cell phone could talk to the computer but the computer audio
   never reaches the telephone side? Now I have that problem to solve.
   I had the same problem with Skype when I tried it. Perhaps a port
   that needs opening in the router?

   Echolink required a port opened there and I tried opening 5060 which
   the voip phones seem to use but still have this audio problem.
