[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk VIA SSH Tunnels

[Alex Barnes]

Just my 2p.

But might it not be a better idea to push for proper secure SIP support.
However this requires a number of steps in the * dev:

- TCP Support for SIP
- TLS Support for SIP
- SIPS Support
- Secure codec support via * (SRTP - http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-SRTP)
tho transcoding is probably not needed as that would defeat the object.

Else would VPN's with IPSec or whatever incur less overhead????

 From an IP networking standpoint you can tunnel UDP (which is all IAX 
is) over SSH.  I suspect your call quality will suck, however.


Dear Friends of Ubiquity Software: 
 
As you may have noticed, Ubiquity Software began using the web domain ubiquity.com earlier this year in addition to the previously established ubiquity.net for our website and email communications to you.  However, since that time, a dispute has emerged with respect to actual ownership of the ubiquity.com domain.
 
As an international software company founded over decade ago, you can always reach Ubiquity Software under the website www.ubiquity.net <http://www.ubiquity.net/>  and via email at @ubiquity.net.  However, we have also chosen to expand our domain to the more specific www.ubiquitysoftware.com <http://www.ubiquitysoftware.com/>  for web and @ubiquitysoftware.com for email communications.
 
Please use either the historical ubiquity.net or begin to use the new ubiquitysoftware.com domain for all email communications to Ubiquity employees from now on. 
 
Thank you.
 
Regards,
 
Ubiquity Software
