I just want a box that I can plug into on the lan of the site that is running 
asterisk.  Then there is no contact with anyone.
I can take my office aastra home with me if I want to.  And they can call that 
phone when I am home.

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.

    Let’s say I am in a random hotel room and I want to use my Aastra phone 
back to my office 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)

      Other way around, I want to use my Aastra from my home office but I want 
it to connect to two other companies’ business office asterisk systems.

      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.
