asterisk users - Sep 2008 - Which internet phone protocol best to choose

Hello!
   I'll classify the subject. :-) I have a nasty firewall, I don't have
to much
power over. It's javascript based in configuration and I can't use any 
graphical browser. The only other person at my home, doesn't know too much 
about computers.
   So I know, from experience, that SIP is ugly in that way, what with freely 
negotiating port for the real audio stream.
   So which protocol/technique best to choose to communicate with the rest of 
the world. Something the glossy windows phones understand, something that's 
still rather common and if possible, something you can join free of charge.
   Any suggestion is welcome. If the possibilities are still so numerous: I 
believe a lot of my friends trust in X-Lite and other apps, gamers also like 
to use. (little kids :-) )
   Kindest regards
           Julien

The short answer is SIP.

Really? I thought both IAX and SIP are, at 3 characters apiece, equally 
short.

However, if you get into IAX2, then yes... SIP is definitely a shorter 
answer.
