Most excellent.  The Asterisk talk in here has been far too little of late.

I have little experience with SuSE, but my gut feeling is that the
firewall is blocking the traffic.  Try doing a 'service iptables stop'
before you start up your client.  If the call succeeds with iptables
off, we can start looking at what rules you need to add.  If it doesn't,
 we'll have to try another approach.
