[asterisk-users] Polycom behind NAT won't register to * server behind ALG

[Al lists]

Actually i'm using Polycom 501's behind nat and i have no issues.
what i usually do is putting static routeable IP for asterisk and using nat
and qualify in sip.conf.
no issues for me so far.
i'm a big fan of Polycom phones, quality of voice, working great with
asterisk and low failure rate.
