[TriLUG] SIP Softphone on Suse and Asterisk

[jonc at nc.rr.com]

If that doesn't turn the trick, you can turn on Debuging in SIP inside
of Asterisk (sip debug on). SIP passes info back and forth a lot like
email. With that you should be able see what the server thinks is going on.

Also you can run Ethereal on the Linux box and see what packets are
going to/from your soft phone application.
