OK, that says that it is Asterisk that is rejecting the connection, not
any firewall.

The [08700nnnnnn] section should be type=user, not type=peer. That is
almost certainly the cause of your problem. Also, some items are not
required, and will be ignored (e.g. [voiptalk] doesn't need context, and
[08700nnnnnn] doesn't need username or host).

Here is my working setup:

[08700nnnnnn]
type=user
notransfer=yes
context=voiptalk-incoming

[voiptalk]
type=peer
username=xxxxxxxx
secret=xxxxxx
host=iax.voiptalk.org
notransfer=yes
;trunk=yes
qualify=yes


Hope this helps!

Cheers
Tony
