I am aware of a least a few people (including me) who were using the Packet8 service along with Asterisk for outgoing calls. Last night Packet8 did a software upgrade and both last night and this morning I have been unable to make any outgoing calls. Has anyone else noticed this behavior and/or been able to correct it? I get Got SIP response 403 "Forbidden" back from 4.42.235.170 when trying to make calls.
This is a wild guess, but let me throw it out there. Take a look at the User-Agent: header from a Cisco ATA-186 or maybe from one of the Packet8 devices. Then, go into chan_sip.c and alter the User-Agent: setting from "Asterisk PBX" to one of those values. See if your dialing works.
Other providers have been known to implement this type of "User-Agent:" filter to (crudely) try to disallow certain types of equipment not on their "authorized" lists from accessing their systems. I don't know if that's what happened with Packet8, but it's worth a shot, and will probably tell you more than calling their help desk.
