[cisco-voip] Unity Not Recording :(

Ok. Hmm. Does unity respond to key pressses for
options on call handlers, dial-by-name, conversations,
etc fine? 

Do regular phone calls from this gateway to IP phones
at that site on subnet of unity server work fine? 

What version of Unity TSP?
One or Two NICs on Unity server?

That debug is not that intensive... unless theres a
lot of call setup or MGCP activity going on. You can
do it to the buffer or a syslog server to. Only need
to run it for period call comes in and connects to
unity then can stop debug. But now that you stated
it's one way audio and it shows the correct IP for
remote address, chances are the MGCP call
setup/audio-cutover is OK. 

As for sniffer traces, you may have ms network monitor
installed on the server you can use to get a trace
from unity server side of things. You can also pull up
the port status monitor tool under tools depot to see
if ports are seeing DTMF presses if you can't do
dial-by-name, etc above.
