[asterisk-users] SIP asterisk over Linksys VPN

[Dan Casey]

I tried to do sip over vpn with with a linksys router handle just one
phone.  When I tried it, it worked fine.  Once i shipped it out we had
all types of problems.
at first it was fine, then 1 out of 5 calls would sound like cell
phones.  Now I can call him be he can't hear anything. Everything else
works fine through the vpn.  Most importantly, I can't trouble shoot
correctly.  I finally gave up and got him callvantage.  Now all I have
to worry about is forwarding a DID number.
