Thanks for the feedback Jason.  We figured putting in a new router would
make it work.  But this was the customer's router, and they didn't want to
spend the money on a new one.  We didn't do our homework to check
compatibility with the LD code feature.  We assumed it would work, so we got
caught in a pickle when it didn't.  A fairly easy fix when running multiple
platforms, Cisco and Asterisk, if one can't do something; usually the other
one can pull the slack.

JR
