Hi , I have a running Asterisk box . It is running great My problem is that I can not get connected to the world :) . My only option available here is a satellite connection . I was testing different service providers but all of them are doing firewalling and NAT so SIP, IAX are not working I desperately need to get connected to the world :)) Please recommend me a good ISP for Middle East (permanent 2 way connection) , real IP adresses etc Best regards , Marius marius dot baranescu @ gmail dot com

Marius, I have * running in Houston, Texas and regularly run SIP from my office in Nigeria. We have our own earth station here and terminate in Canada and use the net from there to our data center. Here in Nigeria the phones are behind a PIX with NAT. From my experience, you should not have any problems.

My experience is in Iraq. In this region are lots of really poor providers reselling highly unreliable, congested, and jitter-prone bandwidth. There are a few that are not. In major cities in Iraq TigrisNet resells Intelsat bandwidth via a metro 802.11a network. Elsewhere in Iraq (and likely the whole Middle East) you can buy service from Intelsat directly. Its not cheap, but it works very well. -- Matt Ranney - mjr@ranney.com
