[Aaug] In the dark

[cfowler]

Maybe my problem is that I'm not doing a registration?  

Here is what is in my iax.conf file for voipjet

[voipjet]
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
type=peer
host= test.voipjet.com
username= 15135
secret= XXXXXXXXXXXXX
auth=md5
context=default 

I also can not ping 'test.voipjet.com'.  That might be an indicator as
well.  Ping is not a good tests since many firewalls block ICMP packets.
