Not so silly ...

The hylafax server is behind NAT and I did not succeed to get t38modem
running behind NAT. So I wanted to give asterisk a try since it has some
features to make it work behind a natted connection.

I am behind a IAD which does NAT. I cannot install my own software on
the IAD. Therefore I did nit consider a SIP proxy.
