Thanks man, I appreciate it. Asterisk to CS1k does work. So I know I can go that way . . here is a switch log of that succeeding and me answering:

I have never messed with NRS as this is my first attempt, and I am failing miserably, so I don't know how to use the trace logs. But, I tend to think I am a quick learner!
I have dug around and have seen tons of people ask how to do it, then never see anything posted on how to get it going. I know some have been successful, but they never posted configs, I think it is a closely guarded secret . . .
Thanks again!
