How open port 5060, on Debian Sarge

[debian111]

Hi all,
I installed Asterisk Open Source PBX on my Debian Server. I should enable SIP protocol works, it is neccessary open port 5060-because SIP needs it.
My question is, how open port 5060 on Debian Sarge machine.

This is an example on how to configure a Linux IPTables firewall for Asterisk:

# SIP on UDP port 5060. Other SIP servers may need TCP port 5060 as well
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5060 -j ACCEPT
# IAX2- the IAX protocol
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 4569 -j ACCEPT
# IAX - most have switched to IAX v2, or ought to
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5036 -j ACCEPT
# RTP - the media stream
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 10000:20000 -j ACCEPT
# MGCP - if you use media gateway control protocol in your configuration
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 2727 -j ACCEPT

I entered in my console as root

/# iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5060 -j ACCEPT

This should open port 5060? But when I enter in other machine command

telnet 192.168.xxx.xxx 5060

I got output

Trying 192.168.129.112...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Should I adjust something else?

telnet uses the TCP protocol as the transport to establish connection, but "iptables -p udp" allows UDP connection only.
