asterisk users - Jan 2004 - Mediatrix 1102 issue after upgrading to CVS

We just did an upgrade on our Asterisk to the CVS version and our 
Mediatrix 1102s stopped working correctly.  Our Asterisk is connected to 
the PSTN with a PRI.  Calls from the PSTN to the Mediatrix 1102 work fine. 
 The issue is calling out to the PSTN from the 1102.  Asterisk looks like 
it process the call just fine except there is no talk path.  Get this, 
though: If you flash hook and then flash hook again, the call is there.

These units worked fine before our Asterisk upgrade.  VoIP to VoIP works 
fine; it's just VoIP to the PSTN.  Has anyone experienced something like 
this with the CVS version?

(On the flip side, my Zultys Zip4x4 is now completely working.  Before our 
upgrade, Zultys tech support said they had to create a software patch to 
overcome Asterisk leaving the contact field blank.  I failed to load the 
patch before our upgrade and now that issue is gone.)

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this!

I'm sorry; I think I found the issue.  We've been playing with the codec
preferences and had GSM before g.711mulaw.  Since the Mediatrix 1102 
doesn't have a GSM codec, I think it had trouble establishing a codec 
link.  By doing a flash-hook twice, that was enough to get the call 
through.

SO, I don't think it had anything to do with the CVS upgrade.  I changed 
the order of codec preference and calls are going through just fine.

Thanks!

I good thing to do when things stop working in this manner is do a packet
capture with Ethereal.  A lot of times you can figure out what is happening
by where the packets are going.  I will try to test this in the morning with
one of my 1102 units.
