Alex, Untangle looks intersting and it has commercial support available, will give it a try. Another one on my to test list is Endian ( http://www.endian.com/en/community/about/ ) it has a sip proxy module.
I've installed a bunch of different routers, with varing levels of success. I tried pfSense and liked it, but for me the one lacking feature was running load balancing, traffic shaping and QOS at the same time. The developers are aware of this and have it on thier radar to get implemented but no ETA. Besides that it's a pretty solid product. I've also used the dual WAN Xincom, but they are too limited, support sucks. Some features not implemented well, like if one WAN goes down it switches over fine, but it doesn't recover when the link comes up, you have to manually bring it back up. Lately I've been using Shorewall, which is a great iptables tool, but is not the most intuitive tool. It is text config file based and not a complete set of documentation for it. But if you pick throught the docs and with a bit of trial and error you can implement almost anything you want that iptables is capable of supporting. Someone just needs to build a good GUI to manage it, so it is not something you would suggest to a client unless your going to support it.
