What is the exact model of your gateway ?
There is an M and S model that are very similar in looks/features except
one is sip and one is mgcp (at least last time I looked in detail at what
they were supplying)

What ports did you open in your firewall for this to work ? that should be
another way to tell unless you are wide open.

I would try it but I really don't want yet another number, I have numbers
in Mississauga and St.Catharines I would like to migrate as long as it is
decent quality.
