Thanks for the response Brad (and Brian Capouch as well in a 
separate note!).

I was offline all day yesterday, but I can do more testing today.

Of course, it's quite possible that it's the firewall. That said, 
all other providers (including SIP) work, so it would have to be a 
reasonably tight number of ports that are open to the other 
providers, and a different set of ports that are closed that 
StanaPhone is trying to communicate on.

Anyway, more testing on the way ;-)

BTW, I run Shorewall (which is a cover for IPTABLES), and it 
usually logs every dropped packet, and I see _no_ rejections in 
the log file for source IP from StanaPhone and destination UDP 
ports on my machine. I'm running the same Shorewall "rules" 
(different version of Shorewall and different OS on the two linux 
boxes) on the box that works with StanaPhone...

Thanks again to both of you for the responses!
