VOIP taps, in theory, require you to be "in the path" of the data flow... I dunno, I think (hope) that the law sees the "theory" part as just that and not reality. > Well, I don't trust my landline. > I use GSM for mobile use, rather than the Canada-wide-cordless stuff > that Bell and Telus sells. CDMA has and uses encryption just as GSM does. My LG4750 even has an easy to set option to use strong encryption. :-) > There are some minor NAT-related issues that will prevent it from > being plug-n-play for for people' whose Asterisk is behind their NAT. > This will initially require that we do some minor manual configuration > for these customers. Actually it's trivial for any OpenS/WAN gateway to work through NAT (using NAT-T) that it would actually be *EASIER* to have multiple SIP phones behind a residential or corporate firewall than not. > For people using WRT54GS as their NAT, we can just run the IPsec on > that box, using OpenWRT.... True enough but that little processor I don't think would do such a hot job at authenticating, encrypting and decrypting the flood of small packets that a VOIP stream creates. I have no data on it but it's just a gut feeling. -A.
