asterisk users - Feb 2004 - Configuring Pingtel Xpressa

Well my Pingtel Xpressa arrived today. It's configuration is nowhere
near as clear as the SNOM 200. Can someone here provide some guidance
on getting the Xpressa talking to *?

Michael,
    In my experience, the Xpressa most times registers with * but never 
realizes that the registration is complete.  This is eveidenced by the 
browser hanging forever in the Xpressa config when you try to set it to 
register.(can't remember their exact terminology for this setting but 
its kind of odd)  Anyway, the result is that it never tries to 
reregister and therefore the phone comes unregistered at the end of 
whatever the registration period is set for and ceases to work.  You can 
set Asterisk to use the phones unregistered and keep the phones set to 
not register and they will make and recieve calls.  I will try to dig up 
my old notes and configs for you if you like.
