I had numerous NAT problems, which I now believe were caused by a really lousy router on the far end. Since I'm behind NAT on both ends, I wanted to switch to IAX to see if that would help. It did and it was a fun learning experience to get Asterisk going on such a limited piece of hardware. Now it just works with almost no maintenance.<br>
