Surely it depends on who's calling me - if they're using a SIP phone it'll 
come in over the SIP port, and if they're using an IAX phone it'll come in 
over the IAX port - ie there's this context in the default iax.conf:

[guest]
type=user
context=default
callerid="Guest IAX User"

Which I assume is there for a reason... otherwise why have it?

btw. how many rtp streams do I need?  I only have 1 phone at the moment (max. 
will be about 4 I think).

I already use pretty strange/long passwords...  the recommendation always 
seems to be make username==extension number, though.
