I'd guess that it will work, but expect call quality to be impacted because of all the extra scheduling and virtualisation. You will need to make sure that UDP streams from your linux side can get through the Windows with NATTing, and importantly that replies get back. Port 5060 needs to be "permanently" directed through to Linux. You set another range of ports in rtp.conf (rtpstart and rtpend) - these will also need directing through to Linux. > 3.

With SIP there are all these terms - but practically speaking you send SIP messages somewhere, and get replies. FWD is a place which you talk to using SIP. I guess they are a registry (you can send REGISTER packets). They aren't generally a proxy - usually your audio streams end up going directly to the other endpoint. They do have a proxy that you can use if you need to because of NAT. You might need it. And I don't know what a redirect server does. > 4.

Yes - you can open another FWD account, or you can use the one you setup for your XP softphone. > Or is the proxy/redirect server > expecting to talk to the Asterisk PBX in some other way? FWD is happy to talk to you with SIP. They do also have a test connection using IAX, Asterisk's own protocol - but why not leave that for another day. > > I appreciate any and all responses.
