Sure.  I think * is perfect for what you describe.  In fact, I don't 
really know of another tool that could bridge SIP and MGCP.

Well...  There's really not a guide for the beginner, which is sort of 
a catch-22, since everyone has to begin somewhere.  The closest thing 
you'll get to a beginner guide is the asterisk section of the wiki 
(http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk).  I don't exactly find it to 
be complete, but you can fill in the holes with the ADP (* 
documentation project):

Also, if you are patient, the archives of this mailing list cover a 
million and one issues.

I don't use MGCP, but if you want to see my sip.conf and 
extensions.conf, just let me know.

Good luck, and enjoy the great city of Madison (I lived there for 8 
years and loved it)!

Thanks,
