I'm sure it is, but in the absence of a FAQ on the Asterisk website, this is
a little hard for new users to determine.

I suspected this would be the case. The problem is that I have no control
over the NAT. I guess I'll just have to work on my provider a bit more to
support IAX.

I could find plenty of emails from people asking how to do it, but I
couldn't find any answers - odd that Google only seems to show the
questions, but not the answers.

Thanks for the link and the help.
