Thanks for the offer. Right now I'm struggling with the gateway. I get a "can't log in" no matter what settings I enter, although I can log into my GV account with no problem.

Per Bill's directions, I first connected my GV account to GMail and made a call out through the chat dial widget first, then assigned Google Chat as a forward for the calls.

Bill confirmed the server is up, and guessed it may be a password issue, but I have no odd characters in my PW that could confuse it, just letters and numbers. I am about to try changing it just in case. Any ideas?
