Hi,

If you did a default install of the asterisk Debian package,
and you left the file /etc/asterisk/modules.conf alone,
skinny support is loaded.
I tried chan_skinny, and found it useless.
chan_sccp had way better results here.

But in the end I ended up bying a SIP license from Cisco,
cause that just works best.

How about 'show modules' from the cli?

Might look at contents of /etc/asterisk/modules.conf as well.
