Do you mean the voip stream is encrypted to be decrypted from a phone on
the PSTN?  That will be rough due to the nature of the codecs.  You
would have to not use any compression, and hope that syncing doesnt blow
this up when it hits the PSTN.  In short if you do manage to get
something to work I would question its reliability.

If however you mean something else, please let me know.
