<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="MS Sans Serif">Hello,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="MS Sans Serif">We have an * server setup and are trying to take inbound SIP calls from our provider. According to the asterisk log, our box "sees" the call come in, however, it never seems to route the call, rather gives a "Congestion" message and the calling end is disconnected. (I've included the output from the log file below.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="MS Sans Serif">One important note is that our SIP provider doesn't have the concept of "registration" so we don't have a register line in our sip.conf file. I'm assuming this is the problem in that we need our Asterisk to accept the incoming call and route it accordingly. I'm assuming this is what "allowguest" does in the sip.conf but according to the documentation, it's turned on by default.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="MS Sans Serif">Can anyone give me some pointers?</FONT>
