Wow, that has NOT been my experience, though it has been a few years 
(2005) since I used them.  The ones I purchased were first of all 
expensive.  They overheated and froze up often.  Only a single port.  No 
dual ethernet option.  Provisioning is a PITA.  Codec support was minimal. 
I thought at the time that being IAX I wouldn't have to worry about NAT 
issues and that was worth the extra difficulties, but I have been using 
Linksys PAP2Ts ever since and never looked back.  And it has been over a 
year since I had any NAT issue to deal with, though have now installed 
them in hundreds of different configurations.

Perhaps these things have been rectified since...
