Thanks Daryll and Paul,

I am wanting to use it as you describe and have been trying different configs 
for the past two days with no luck. I am using the latest firmware from sipura site.

I have been doing it without having it register with asterisk though.

I'll go thru the config one more time if it still doesn't work I'll then try 
having it register with asterisk not that I can see where that should make a 
difference.

Regards,
Steve
