hmm, iconnecthere looks like quite a useful service, as they can offer me a Phoenix/Arizona number, ideal for my daughter to be able to ring me cheaply.
all I basically really need is a way to get a VOIP service that offers me a cheap or free inbound number in the USA that can call my VOIP phone in the UK. |

So I've successfully gotten kppi to work with asterisk sending and receiving calls from the PSTN. It worked well internally. Then I resd up on how to get SIP calls past a NAT and I nearly choked. A minimum of 20 ports are required to bo open! SIP-aware firewalls/routers can open and close these ports when SIP packets come in, but that's an added expense (or headache if one is to build a firewall).
IAX only requires one UDP port open. ZIAX is the only Z app I'm aware of that uses this protocol. KPPI in conjunction with FWD (who can use IAX) might be another solution, though I worry about latency. |

Any chance someone has some scripting done for setting up a firewall to go with asterisk, maybe? Nice to see someone doing something with this btw |

Nice to see someone doing something with this btw I think most of your typical linux firewall distros will allow this kind of control for SIP packets. My problem is that I don't want to have yet another noisy, power-hungry machine clogging some corner of the house. I run a web server, which I intend to by the asterisk server as well...If I put it on the DMZ and firewall it (would this be IPCHAINS?), I wonder if that might be better. Maybe someone can shed some light on this...there's sooo much to learn! |

iptables, unless you`re running kernel 2.2, I think.
using the same box for both is probably the right idea |

I use siproxd on my space heater*, er, firewall/file-server. Works very well.
mine's got an ipw-2915abg card and a usb bluetooth adaptor, so I can use it as general purpose router for PDAs and laptops too. On a palm can use "articulation" as the sip client. it's a lot more flexible for natting and firewalling than a standalone adsl modem/router/wireless thingy, and I keep the wireless interface on a separate network to the secure cabled network. *use a decent antech psu, a quiet CPU fan, and FDB hard drive, and it's not too bad at all noise wise.. and it keeps the room warm in winter, so the waste heat is not a problem, although it costs more for electric heating than gas! |

The upstream KPhone has matured a lot since moving to Sourceforge.
"KPhone is a SIP UA for Linux, supporting a multitude of features. Originally developed by Billy Biggs, it was developed at Wirlab until 2005. It is now developed by a team of volunteers in this project." The latest version is 1.0.2.1, which fixes lots of crucial bugs (like digital DTMF, Hold, and memory leak, which I personally suffered alot) and added more features. The KPhone included in the latest KPhone Pi is 4.0.3. If nobody else beats me, I will try to compile the KPhone/Pi with the latest CVS. Attached is the latest Kphone Changelog
