I think what Olle was saying is there was a bug in sip _authentication_
mechanism, and the patch to fix that bug has been applied to cvs-head
but not to Stable (as yet). It would appear you're running Stable v1.0.7
with the bug.

"Assuming" you installed the Stable source code and compiled it 
yourself, you can do the following:
cd /usr/src
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs at cvs.digium.com:/usr/cvsroot
cvs login		- the password is anoncvs.
cd asterisk
make update
make clean
make install

If you haven't done an update before, you might want to keep the above
and update your notes to be able to do the above repeatedly. You _will_
need to do that from time to time, and probably do the same for the
zaptel source directory.
