Folks, let's face it - documentation on Asterisk  sucks big time. This is
the reason why the same questions are asked here and over the Net every
week.

OK, let's document is. Is there any information with different phones/FW
combinations already available?

I can add some info working with Cisco's IP phones, Pix firewall, cheap
linksys/dlink gateways.

Why? Is this for some political reasons?
