That's the point where you lost me.

Callcentric is out on the Internet.  How does it connect to your Asterisk 
server?

It would be good to know what got changed to make that work.

So, they connect in via Callcentric too?  Just the same as Caller 1?

What is the difference between callers 1, 2 and 3, in terms of how they connect 
to your Asterisk server, or how you connect to them?

I would start with something like:

# tshark -i any -f "port 5060" -w "sip.debug.pcap"

and then afterwards look at the pcap file with tshark (tshark -r 
"sip.debug.pcap -V") or some SIP tool such as sngrep.
