that isn't quite how ports work.. True, asterisk listens for udp connections on 5060. But the softphone won't make its outgoing connection on 5060. The OS will automatically choose an unused port number for the outgoing connection. So (for example) you might have the softphone talking on port 23107 to asterisk on 5060, and asterisk on 5060 talking back to the softphone on 23107. No port conflict. Now one place where you could have conflict is if asterisk is trying to use your soundcard for its console. Then the softphone client may have trouble getting the soundcard port opened.
