Further information on this problem.  FreeWorldDialup has a call me feature 
for registered users that can be accessed by logging on to their site with a 
browser.  I just dropped into Windows to test this and found that the feature 
worked at least partially.  I could receive an audio call but it appeared 
that my audio was not getting out.

I then went back into Linux and tried again using twinkle.  After I forwarded 
the RTP port used by twinkle (8000)  to this machine, I was able to receive 
the incoming call.

My conclusion is that there is something wrong with the way GM is detecting my 
NAT as no other changes were made to the firewall.

By the way, WOW, I also discovered that GM is now supporting video echoing.  
WELL DONE.  It looks as though you're on the verge of releasing the premier 
program for VOIP.

Apologies.  I'll get used to the new name eventually.
