What is suggested then on routing calls through my wan port? Is there any cheap kind of equipment I can buy. I am trying to setup a network with phones -> sipx -> router to wan -> sip trunking provider service as I have software that I want to launch a product with.
I have been also trying to test calls from outside the router to the internal phones as I wanted to make sure media could work through the router. I was hoping I could put sipx in the DMZ or something. What do I need to connect sipx to the wan(cheaply) and still be able to hang my computers off the router. does asterisk work better? I heard alot of people have done that behind a router, or what cheap router can I use. thx, dean 2008/8/8 Tony Graziano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > SIP is not exactly simple.
