[Asterisk-Users] Any work around for ISPs that block port 5060 and69

[Me]

Maybe they could start by finding the info on the lawsuit that was brought 
against the last ISP that tried this. They could then forward it to their 
ISP and see if that gets them anywhere.

I guess this could also get them disconnected from the only ISP available 
so... Don't listen to me... :)
