I have used Asterisk and dyndns with ddclient for years, with no
issues. I can't speak to off premiss SIP phones, but if it will work
with a URL rather than just an IP address, all should go well.<br>
<br>
You could always provision an embedded Asterisk thin client at the
remote location, using IAX, and avoid any issues with SIP if there
are any concerns with security.<br>

<div>I am told that Comcast, which I am hoping to get, has
"sticky" dynamic IP meaning the IP addresses rarely if ever
change. If that is the case then this is pretty much a non
issue. I think they use the router mac address to assign an IP
address.<br>

True enough. Comcast will change your IP if the mac address of the
router changes, but since most routers allow Mac address cloning,
even this is a minimal issue. As Comcast in many areas is growing,
sometimes the IP address changes as they reconfigure their network.
Mine hasn't changed now for about 18 months though. Plus their
service is reliable. Not quite as robust as a telephone company in
the 1980's, but pretty good.<br>

<div>Also the version of Asterisk I am running is old - 1.2.35 -
yes I know it's old but it works and does what I need. Are
there differences in versions on how the above would work?<br>

I would suggest you move at least to the last 1.4 version . though
1.4 is also EOL, the last version is fairly robust, and obviously
you don't need any of the newer features added later on. Some
changes will be needed in your dialplan, but not nearly as many as
if you were to become current.<br>
<br>
I use my Asterisk in a worldwide private network, as well as an
interface to voip.ms, and it just works.<br>
I also use IAX for all external connections with good results.<br>
<br>
Best of luck<br>
