I thought MGCP was end to end, I have a VoIP service using that and
had a MGCP image in the ATA-186. Switched it to SIP to use FWD.

MGCP isn't useful end-to-end - it was designed to be used
between a call control engine and a media gateway.

You can get MGCP phones as well - Swissvoice, cisco and polycom support it
on some models.

you can generally mix the various voip control protocols - so long as the
end points use compatible end points or you can transcode, and that the
control system can handle the different protocols. All the actual voice
streams for these protocols use RTP.

eg. - cisco call manager can handle at least H.323, MGCP, SIP on the same
system and connect calls between them. i cant believe CCM is unique, but i
use that most.

Yes, but the original intent was that the "media gateways"
were media gateways, or relays, rather than endpoints. For
better or worse you can't control how a protocol is used
once it's released for general consumption. The point
remains, however, that while H.323 and SIP really are
end-to-end protocols (although they're mediated more often
than not these days) MGCP is not.
