I've been struggling with getting the soft-switch.org Unicall/MFC-R2 implementation working. After wading through some misleading instructions and a build process that leaves much to be desired in terms of reliability and consistency (e.g., the order in which the various libraries should be compiled is plain wrong: I believe it should be spandsp, supertone, unicall, and mfcr2 in that order) , I've finally managed to get a working chan_unicall.so module used by Asterisk. From searching through the mailing list archives, I see that I seem to have gone a good deal of the way, up to the point where I see the "warnings" about channels being unblocked on the near and far ends when * starts. However, when I attempt to initiate an outbound call with Asterisk, it suddenly fails with what I gather is a congestion error. "no one is available to answer at this time". I am quite certain it is not a problem with the E1R2 we are using, as it had previously been in use on a Nortel PBX and was working fine there. I'm trying to use the Philippine R2 variant. Does anyone have a sample configuration that works for the Philippines? Any help on this is much appreciated.
