<BR>><BR>><BR>> Bruce,<BR>><BR>> I *just* tested the
XtremePhone, IAX2 softphone. Other than trying to figure out how to get it to
send proper CallerID to the other phones, it worked right off, in both
directions. Excellent! <BR>><BR>> Perhaps working the IAX2 angle will be
less of a hassle, I will go looking for one that does video
now.<BR>><BR>> Maybe it's time to buy an IAX2-ATA adaptor and see how
well that works over the net. <BR>><BR>> Nick<BR>><BR>> As for the
SIP logs, I start Asterisk with -vvvvc already, I did a sip debug and tried my
call from the house to my remote SIP phone. YIKES!!<BR>> Gunna take a bit
to understand all that, but I think I did see an INVITE, and a CANCEL twice in
a row and I did not hit the hang-up switch. So that might explain why no
connection is made, and the called gets my voice-mail (according to my wife)
