I'm just getting started with freeswitch; I'd like to create a public phone number that a small number of people can dial into to join a conference.

I've got calls and the conference rooms working internally, and I've got a link to my sipgate account which directs to extension 1000 . The configuration is virtually unchanged from the default. I created sip_profiles/external/sipgate.xml using the default template in that folder and put my details in.

However, if I change sip_profiles/external/sipgate.xml to point to 3001, ie

then when the external call comes in, freeswitch does this 3 times then stops:

Presumably there's some difference between calls coming in via a gateway and localy generated calls; could someone give me some pointers as to how to get it to accept the call ?
