So?

You said you were opposed to setting up another Asterisk box, which
pretty much rules out IAX peering like

[SIP-phone]---SIP--->[Asterisk]===IAX===>[Asterisk]---SIP---[SIP-phone]

Yet you said you wanted something that is both *secure* and *reliable*.

Well, venturing with SIP outside of a LAN is not secure and it ain't
reliable either, so tunneling is the only thing that will get you
those requirements fulfilled.

Your PIX should support PPTP and if you want to use Xlite, I suppose
it will run on a Windoze PC which has got PPTP built in. Not as good
as IPsec, but better than sending SIP out naked.
