This is presently not possible, unless you have some
suitable intermediate gateway(s).

MGCP is a master-slave protocol.  The Call Agents
control the Media Gateways.  The current version of
Asterisk can serve as a Call Agent, but not as a Media
Gateway.  This means that you can use Asterisk with
MGCP phones and MGCP gateways, but not with services
such as CallVantage or Free Télécom that utilize MGCP.

If you find a way to make Asterisk act as a MG, please
let me know, as I would like to be able to connect to
MGCP providers.
