I have a running Asterisk box . It is running great My problem is that I can not get connected to the world :) . My only option available here is a satellite connection . I was testing different service providers but all of them are doing
firewalling and NAT so SIP, IAX are not working
I desperately need to get connected to the world :)) Please recommend me a good ISP for Middle East (permanent 2 way connection) , real IP adresses etc
I guess it depends on where you are in the Middle East.
It doesn't matter /where/ you are. It matters who your satellite provider is and what equipment they are using.
I worked at a satellite uplink facility for awhile. I recommend iDirect modems/routers (iDirect.net). They don't sell to anyone but large operators, but their equipment is very good. Constellation (Hub in Sweden; NOC in Traverse City, MI) is probably your best bet.

You can also try SES-Global ( http://www.ses-global.com/ ). I've worked with SES-Americom. I can't speak for SES-Global
Ping times on iDirect are ~600-800ms, low jitter, which for satellite is very good. Starband gives ping times around 2000ms on a good day and has *terrible* jitter. I've used Cisco ATA-186's with iDirect and many people could not tell them apart from landline.
If you have a satellite modem made by Gilat, don't even waste your time /trying/ to get VoIP to work...
Iraq was/is a popular destination for _many_ iDirect units.
Bear in mind that getting satellite gear INTO many countries can be difficult. Some countries (Jordan) require co-ordination through the US Embassy. Some countries have $4,000-$6,000 import duties on VSAT dishes.
