[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and SIP phones

[Wiley E. Siler]

Of Note... PPTP is exactly what I am using in the XP -> Pix example I
proposed.
It works well, is "more secure" than nothing as Ben said, and is cheap.
True IPSec is the next level if you have the devices to setup a good
tunnel.

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.
