Ok, step one: Put a router/firewall behind that tellabs. It should be the only thing on your premises with a public routable address. Yes, that will make your SIP configuration a touch more complicated, but you've already seen the balancing cost... Go pick up a copy of Firewalls and Internet Security from O'Reilly, find a quiet corner and a pot of really *hot* tea, and sit and read it, assuming you can't pay someone else to do this for you. But don't put *nix application servers directly on the net unless you really know what you're doing. And yeah, you're gonna have to wipe that box, as Steve said. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
