I've been fascinated that since forwarding UDP 5060-5100 at my router to
the machine I use Ekiga from, my separate Broadvoice SIP phone (behind
the same NAT) still works okay - netstat-nat is currently reporting,

udp   broadvoice.mtbc.internal:sip   147.135.32.222:sip             ASSURED    

I wonder how they do it. The Broadvoice box /stops/ working if I turn on
the Linux 2.6 CONFIG_NF_NAT_SIP kernel option on the router, though I
wondered if that option would help Ekiga or not.
