Hi,

I haven't (yet) got Asterisk working with Packet8 in the way that you
mean.

I can call a packet8 account FROM Asterisk.  But Packet8 treats it as an
incoming call from an unauthenticated "foreign" source.  It connects calls
to Packet8 users, but obviously won't connect calls to PSTN numbers.

I'll be trying to get this working this week.  Jim Dennis is looking to do
the same for Vonage I think - so between us I'm sure we can get it
working.

For Packet8 there is another issue - it uses G723.1 codec.  G723.1 is
patent encumbered which causes some problems for using it with Asterisk.

Still - SIP is getting better in Asterisk - so hold tight.
