asterisk users - Oct 2006 - Taking a Polycom IP601 home

Make sure you set nat=yes for the sip user. Asterisk will then send replies back
to the source IP address, rather than what's in the Via: header.

I am looking for phones that work well (or at all) when outside of the 
network and behind a router, such as at someone's home or in a hotel. 
My Polycom IP601s do not seem to be up to the task, so I am hoping that 
there is a good alternative for my outside sales people to use to talk 
to my asterisk server.

Thanks in advance,
Warren
