[Asterisk-Users] H323 outgoing calls

[Darren Wiebe]

Does asterisk support using an H.323 provider for outgoing calls?  From 
everything I have found, it looks like it does.  However, I have had no 
success in getting it to work.  I would really appreciate if somebody 
could give me a hand.  I am using the channel that comes with asterisk.  
I have also tried using the channel from inaccessnetoworks but have not 
had any more success. My provider has not been able to help a lot but 
they have confirmed that I am using the correct dial string.  They have 
also confirmed that they only support  G729 and G723.  Sorry about the 
long post, I thought I better send all the info though.

This is my h323.conf file:

If I enable all the codecs and switch debug on then this is my output.
