Have been successful in setting Asterisk on my router. Following your guide, I was able to setup Internal , and Incoming calls. But no luck with outgoing calls, as it complaining extensions 9162342354 rejected (out of state friends number). In Part 2, you used "from-trunk", which one does it correspond to.
