Hmm, I downloaded the 1.4.42 version and installed it. This one seems to 
work correctly. Don't know if this is the asterisk version that matters or 
if something was borked on my first install.

I'll check now if everything works. One thing which doesn't is watching 
Asterisk logs. But I could live with that...

Thanks

Michael
