asterisk users - Jun 2006 - Unable to connect to Asterisk? (simple[?] question)

I'm trying to setup Asterisk on my Linksys WRT54G router and it
appears to startup successfully (no errors) and it says it is
listening on 0.0.0.0 port 5060, but I am unable to connect to it.
I've tried "telnet localhost 5060" but it just says connection
refused.  I've also tried connecting from another machine on my
network (eg. telnet 192.168.0.1 5060) but it also says connection
refused.  Finally, I've tried changing the bound address in sip.conf
to "127.0.0.1" and "192.168.0.1" but I am still unable to
connect
using all the methods mentioned above.

What else can be the problem?  Can I have some sort of iptables problem?

SIP is a UDP protocol, and telnet is TCP. You can't test it like that.

Have you tried connecting with a SIP client?

Telnet uses TCP, Asterisk's SIP is UDP....
