asterisk users - Oct 2003 - WINXP Messenger SIP Client (Good News, Bad News) WINXP authorization with secret

I had this same problem with WINXP WinMESS, (what a name mess)  I
changed the Distro from Redhat 8.0 to Mandrake 9.1 and bam! It all
works!!  Does anyone know of a problem with this and RH 8.0????

Are you running Redhat??  I now have Messenger working fine as well as
X-ten, Sipps, and some others.

I have standardized on Mandrake 9.1 and asterisk seams to have NO
problems.

REDHat 8.0 proved as stable as my ex-girlfriend.  (Sorry just venting,
Doctor says that it is good to do so. BTW the list is cheaper :-) )

MSN messenger does not use SIP.
Windows messenger (another product) use SIP.

I still can't get Windows messenger to register with a secret to
Asterisk.
Anthony - do you connect without registering or does Windows messenger
register properly with your * ?
