[cisco-voip] CallManager 4.2(3) vs. Asterisk

For * -> CCM communications, can you get a packet capture of what's 
happening?

For the CCM -> * communications, try resetting the trunk.  Sounds like 
callmanager is refusing to believe the trunk is actually there if you 
are getting fast busy immediately.  Dumb question, but you do have the 
trunk pointing to the proper IP address of the * box, right?

Also, I just did a quick tcpdump and it looks like callmanager always 
replies with a 400 - Malformed/Missing URL when it gets sent an OPTIONS 
request.
