Ahhh, thank you very much.  Now I can stop poking at Asterisk and Ekiga
wondering what I did wrong.  :)

Does this only affect voice mail?  If two people register with the same
Asterisk box (with reinvites turned off) will they be able to communicate with
h261?

I ask because I have tried to establish a call between MythPhone on one end
and Ekiga on my end with no luck.  In fact, as soon as the call connects,
Ekiga segfaults.  Before, I thought it might be related to my Asterisk
(mis)configuration, but perhaps this is an Ekiga bug?
