Hi Ron,

Usually the first place to look when troubleshooting is the asterisk
Console.  You can get that by logging in to your box and typing "asterisk
-r".  Trixbox is a blessing and a curse in this regard, it puts out lots and
lots of detail when it's processing calls.  From my memory, you could easily
see a hundred lines on the console for just one call.  It's a bit of a
needle in a haystack, but your needle is probably in there.

If you give us some more details on your problem, someone here might be able
to point you in the right direction.  I'm not sure if I'm reading that
right, User A calls User B and the call completes but A can't hear B?  Can B
hear A?

Also, some info about the types of phones can help.  How is the network
configured?  Are both parties on the same LAN or is there routing going on?
Are these SIP phones?  Which models?  Is it always one model or unit that
can't hear?  People on this list have worked with just about every kind of
equipment I can imagine and some kinds that I can't.  Often you'll find that
if you can describe the circumstances specifically, someone will say "Oh
yeah, I had that problem, here's how I solved it...".

Good luck getting your final problem(s) ironed out and let us know if we can
help.
