Yes! That was it. Just for future searches here is what I did. I
added "directmedia = no" in sip.conf. This fixed the issue.

I believe that Asterisk was getting confused when one leg was inside
NAT and the other was outside. Perhaps there was an "OR" where there
should be an "AND". It makes sense because the other user was the one
outside NAT and he could hear me and I could not hear him no matter who
initiated the call. He could make outside calls because both he and my
provider were on public IPs.

I am not sure why this hasn't bit anyone else. Perhaps most Asterisk
systems are in one of two classes, connecting to all NAT phones or
connecting to all public phones, and I am in a minority situation where
I am talking to a mix of setups.

Thanks for that. I was going nuts trying to figure this out.

Most people run without direct media unless they know the network
topology will allow it 100%.

topology will allow it 100%.

Perhaps but the default is to run it. Perhaps the default should be
"no" to prevent these problems.

On the other hand, the documentation seemed to suggest that the default
should have worked anyway. One leg was public, the other behind a
NAT. It should recognize the latter and not try to put then in direct
contact. It's almost like it saw the public one and didn't bother
checking the other. Or, it checked both with an OR instead of an AND
as I said. That seems more likely since it didn't matter who started
the call.

I don't really care at this point. If 1% of the calls go through the
server when they didn't really need to it's no big deal.

Cheers.
