asterisk users - Apr 2005 - bashing my head against broadvoice

Folks,

I'm having a nightmare trying to get Broadvoice to work. I've followed 
their howto. I've searched the wiki and archives but still cannot get it 
to work properly.

I can configure * to accept calls from them or make calls to them but 
not both.

This works inbound;

register => 9738281625:yeah-right:9738281625@sip.broadvoice.com
[broadvoice]
username=9738281625
user=phone
type=peer
secret=yeah-right
nat=yes
insecure=very
host=proxy.dca.broadvoice.com
fromuser=9738281625
fromdomain=sip.broadvoice.com
dtmfmode=rfc2833
context=inbound-analogue
canreinvite=no
authname=9738281625
qualify=1000
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=g726
allow=ilbc
allow=g729

And this works outbound;

register => 9738281625:yeah-right:9738281625@sip.broadvoice.com
[broadvoice]
username=9738281625
user=phone
type=peer
secret=yeah-right
nat=yes
insecure=very
host=sip.broadvoice.com
fromuser=9738281625
fromdomain=sip.broadvoice.com
dtmfmode=rfc2833
context=inbound-analogue
canreinvite=no
authname=9738281625
qualify=1000
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=g726
allow=ilbc
allow=g729

What's the difference you ask? the host= line. BV tells you to point 
outgoing calls at your nearest pop. In my case thats the DC one.

what am I doing wrong here? It's driving me mad!

Thanks for your help.

Here's my config in sip.conf:
[broadvoice]
type=peer
username=[phone]
fromuser=[phone]
authname=[phone]
secret=[password]
host=sip.broadvoice.com
port=5060 
context=incoming
fromdomain=sip.broadvoice.com
nat=yes
canreinvite=no
dtmfmode=inband
insecure=very
;permit=147.135.8.128/32      ; or of closer proxy
;permit=147.135.0.128/32      ; or of closer proxy
permit=147.135.4.128/32      ; or of closer proxy
;permit=147.135.12.128/32
;permit=147.135.0.0/16
qualify=yes
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
restrictcid=yes

Not sure what the restrictcid is for.. just something that I got from
someone else probably.

In /etc/hosts make sure to put:
147.135.4.128 sip.broadvoice.com  (or the ip of the closer proxy).

Works for me.  This will also give you a list of some of their proxies.
