Duane,

Thanks so much for you help.  I tried "aaln/x" as you suggested was
common and got enough debug output to make me think about using
line => SHOR_001049007E83.  That was what fixed it.

I've documented my working mgcp.conf at:

http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+config+mgcp.conf

Thanks for your help!
