"488 Not acceptable here" usually means that negotiation failed for want of 
any mutually-supported codec.  Make sure that you have "alaw", which is the 
native format used by the PSTN in civilised countries  (and therefore, there 
is little need to use anything else unless you know you will never want PSTN 
connectivity),  enabled at your end.


Can you run this command and post the output?  (It should all be on one line, 
but my mail client or yours may have eaten it)

$ awk '/[[]|allow/&&!/^[ \t]*;/{printf "%6d:%s\n",NR, $0}' 
/etc/asterisk/sip.conf

This will look for [section headers] in square brackets and lines containing 
"allow" (which also will catch "disallow") that are not commented out, in your 
SIP configuration, and print them out with line numbers.
