Your remark about digest authentication explains why I have had difficulties. I was considering merging SIP interconnects with digest authenticated SIP trunks in a single gateway. I would prefer not to use a B2BUA as a PSTN gateway in order to avoid carrier media where possible. I suspect it might be better to separate out any digest authenticated SIP trunks to a B2BUA just for this.

My main reason for wishing to run a back-end gateway is to simplify our own network and to be able to reconcile against third-party CDRs all in one place.

Can you point me to any documentation for running Kamailio as a PSTN gateway?

Thanks
Rob

It depends on what features you need facing the gateway providers. Eg. if the gateway provider uses digest authentication then you may run into problems with Kamailio. Many people use a B2BUA as "fake" gateway to have full control over the call (e.g. Asterisk, sems, sippy)
