[Asterisk-Users] newbie needs SIP config examples -- especially soft phones

[Reed Wade]

Hi,

I'm experimenting with the dev kit lite and now past the USB
unpleasantness it's working great with standard phones and
lines.

The priority right now is getting soft phones (under Windows
XP) working well.

So far, I've only been able to get the XTEN Lite phone working
and I really don't understand how I set it up. I used "xten"
for every option everywhere (display name, username, password,
and Domain/Realm) and the corresponding section in sip.conf.
I've had no luck getting the SJ Labs soft phone to connect using
a similar blunderbuss method.

I'm wondering if someone could point me to SIP configuration
examples or education so I can understand what I'm doing. I'm
finding the client configuration more confusing that the *
configs.

An example of password protected SIP phone access would also be
very helpful.

I need to be able to support folks working from home connecting
through the net as well inside the office. I expect NAT to be
a pain.

thanks,
