I like your suggestion.  That thought did go through my mind but I wasn't sure how people would feel about expanding the width of the display.

Thanks for the feedback.  After changing this and looking at the display of these settings, I do like it much better.

> Walter Doekes pointed out in ASTERISK-22236, that when running "sip show peers", there can be confusion about what "N" means under the column "Forcerport". The "N" used to stand for NAT (yes). Now, that we use this same column for other settings involving the force_rport setting, someone could get confused as to what is meant by the N.

So, I am putting this up for review to get feedback on not only on the changes described above but also we would be really interested in everyone's thoughts in regards to adding the ability to see the Comedia setting when "sip show settings" is run.
