Ok, what about a VPN server box (Mikrotik or otherwise) which also runs
dynamic DNS?
The VPN client box connects to the dynamic hostname.
Their IT dept will still need to forward traffic to the VPN server, but
that's/all /they would need to do. They don't even need to have a
static IP.
For your part, you don't need to know what their IP's are. You could
preconfigure a server box with a dyn hostname like "voiptunnel-1" and
then provide one or more client side boxes which are already configured
to open a tunnel to "voiptunnel-1".
If you want to use this client box at a random hotel, then it needs to
support being a wifi client bridge and have a simple way for the
traveler to set the SSID and/or key. Mikrotik can certainly do the job,
but I don't think it would be simple enough for any given business traveler.
Just a couple cents.

OK, but at the far end it would be good to have a small piece of
hardware too rather than depend on VPN software running on some random
server. I would rather not bother the various IT folks at these
different companies that all run asterisk.

That is similar to what I need to accomplish.

Instead of a vpn it might be better to just allow it to connect
through the firewall (assuming you are able to manage the firewall)

Hey Chuck,
What about using a sip client app on your mobile phone? You can
turn on vpn on the phone.
Or do you want an actual desk phone?

I wonder what the simplest and cheapest method is to use an
Aastra SIP phone while away from the office. Our Asterisk is
on private IP space so I have to have the phone tunnel into
my internal LAN. There are firewall boxes available that
will do this.
