Barry,
As far as saving, the free version will not save changes.

Ah OK

Can you post a

section of your messages.log when you send a command?

Hi Steve, Thanks for your speedy reply.
There is no such file as messages.log, however there is /var/log/asterisk/messages which I looked at while trying to send commands from DVSwitch but nothing was reported.
Likewise nothing in /var/log/messages.

Running asterisk the output is as follows when connecting from DVSwitch

After the initial DVSwitch connect I then sent a *3xxxx connect request to another node number using the DVSwitch keypad and the send button. There was no response in the asterisk output. The background to the command in the DVSwitch UI turned pink on hitting 'Send' - I don't know what that signifies.

Thanks
