[Asterisk-Users] simple setup

[Gregory Seidman]

I'm trying to set up a very simple system. I have:

1) a LinkSys BEFSR41 NAT router

2) a machine (VIA EPIA running Debian GNU/Linux 3.1, a.k.a. Sarge) running
   Asterisk (1.0.7, because that's what's in Debian stable and I don't want
   to mess with anything beyond that until I get things working)

3) an account with BroadVoice

4) an IAXy ready to be attached to an analog phone and my LAN

I need to know:

1) what ports to forward on the router to the Asterisk machine

2) how to configure the IAXy (it came with no documentation)

3) and how to configure the IAXy extension for Asterisk

I have already configured Asterisk according to BroadVoice's instructions
for the most part, but I wasn't sure what to do about the extension so my
register line reads:

register => <10-digit phone number>:<10-character passcode>@sip.broadvoice.com

I'm a total Asterisk newbie, though I intend to learn. I am thoroughly
familiar with Linux/Unix however.

P.S. Please don't tell me about how much better 1.2.x is than 1.0.x and how
     I should upgrade. I'll get there, but it is not my first step. My
     first step is is getting a working line to make my wife happy.
