The Vigor 2600 should just do fine, I have 2 Vigor 2600VGi's in use with
Asterisk (IAX though) and Handytone's (SIP, not connected to the
Asterisk) in use (router PPPoE though, connected to NetSource here in
Ireland). Firmware is 2.5.3 (i think Draytek withdrew that again because
of GUI problems), but 2.5.2 was fine, too.

The router is SIP aware, so actually you shouldn't think much about NAT
setup etc, it should work straight away. Have you talked with Draytek
about that problem ? Maybe they have heard about it before and have a
solution.

Besides, is it the UK specific firmware you have loaded ?

Yes, try a firmware upgrade.  I actually saw a router one time that would
lockup if a client behind it ran a trace route
