[asterisk-users] WiFi SIP phones

[SIP]

I've gotten SIP calls to work via hotspots on a Dell Axim running 
SJ-Phone. I've also had reasonable success with a Nokia E60. I've had 
ZERO luck from a hotspot on the UTStarCom phones, nor on the Linksys 
wifi phones. I'm not quite sure yet why something which is ONLY a wifi 
phone has more issues connecting to wifi hotspots than, say, 
multi-function devices.

However, looking at the shortcuts both developers have taken in their 
firmware, I'm of the opinion it's just sloppy code.
