asterisk users - Sep 2003 - New cvs compile; basic operational question, please.

Can someone offer a hint on what I'm doing wrong with the basic * config?

Just implemented * for the first time using yesterday's cvs. The initial
configs are based on John Todd's article at
http://www.onlamp.com/lpt/a/3956,
and using two 7960's for initial testing. When one 7960 calls the other, I
get the following and the call is dropped:

    -- Executing Dial("SIP/3001-ec1c", "SIP/3000|20") in new
stack
    -- Called 3000
    -- Got SIP response 488 "Not Acceptable Here" back from
206.222.193.92
  == No one is available to answer at this time
    -- Executing VoiceMail("SIP/3001-ec1c", "u3000") in new
stack
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf': Found
    -- Playing 'vm/3000/unavail'

My sip.conf looks like:
[general]                                                                
                                                                    
port = 5060             ; Port to bind to (SIP is 5060)             
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0      ; Address to bind to (all addresses on machine)
allow=all               ; Allow all codecs                               
context = bogon-calls   ; Send SIP callers that we don't know about here
                                                                    
[3000]                                                    
type=friend             ; This device takes and makes calls              
username=3000           ; Username on device                             
secret=npi2003          ; Password for device                       
host=dynamic            ; This host is not on the same IP addr every time
context=from-sip        ; Inbound calls from this host go here
mailbox=100             ; Activate the message waiting light if this     
                        ;  voicemailbox has messages in it    
                                                                         
[3001]                                                                   
type=friend             ; This device takes and makes calls
username=3001           ; Username on device                  
secret=npi2003          ; Password for device                       
host=dynamic            ; This host is not on the same IP addr every time
context=from-sip        ; Inbound calls from this host go here           
mailbox=100             ; Activate the message waiting light if this     
---------------------------------------

and my extensions.conf looks like:

[general]
static=yes              ; These two lines prevent the command-line interface
writeprotect=yes        ; from overwriting the config file. Leave them here.

[bogon-calls]
exten => _.,1,Congestion

[from-sip]
exten => 3000,1,Dial(SIP/3000,20)
exten => 3000,2,Voicemail(u3000)
exten => 3000,102,Voicemail(b3000)
exten => 3000,103,Hangup

exten => 3001,1,Dial(SIP/3001,20)
exten => 3001,2,Voicemail(u3001)
exten => 3001,102,Voicemail(b3001)
exten => 3001,103,Hangup

exten => 3999,1,VoicemailMain(${CALLERIDNUM})

Apparently I'm doing something wrong, but since this is my first attempt
at making * work, I don't actually have a clue what I'm doing (yet).

Asterisk did complile and install clean the first time (on new RH9 system),
and both 7960's are registered. In some attempts to dial, I do receive
vmail announcements, etc, so whatever I've done wrong I'm guessing it
must
be in the above config statements. 

If someone would kindly point out my error (and maybe a constructive comment
about the error so I can learn), if would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Rich

Just stumbled across the problem noted in my original post below. I added:
allow=ulaw
allow=ilbc

to sip.conf instead of the recommended 'allow=all' and now all phones
work.

Can someone help me understand this?  (It would appear, based on my very much
lack of experience, that * was attempting to set up the conversation using g723,
when all of the phones have 'default=ulaw' definitions. Should I leave
the
ulaw definition for future production use, or is this really something that
I did to read/learn more about for a very small office use?)

Make sure that both phones are set to accept the same codecs. The Not 
Acceptable Here is usually when the SIP negotiation fails for a common 
codec.

Use SIP DEBUG at the CLI to see the transcripts for details. You might 
want to use in sip.conf allow and disallow statements for codecs as 
well.
