Thanks for the response Davy and yes loving the curve, really. :-) I have
ngrep installed, have used it, seeing phone send register and Kamailio
returnig 401 unauthorized as expected, ran kamctl add 1000 <my password>
still getting 401.
I can find all kinds of examples on how to use asterisk for Voicemail, or
Kamailio as a sip LB, and all sorts of other thing but none that are the
simple basics.  I have worked with Asterisk for a few years but am looking
to branch out so I do have bit of understanding of sip but none of
Kamailio, yet. Still googling for example config that I can make sense of.
 And yes I know this is an example of PEBKAC. ;-)

Thanks again,
JohnM
