I want to set up voice chat with another computer in Guatemala from US.
My ISP here blocks all incoming connections now so I need to ( I

I looked at thread about voice chat with aucat, but I can't get
aucat to run on my server.
I get error:
# aucat -l
aucat: <default>: can't open device
but aucat-user-id file is made in /tmp
Is there a way to get this to work? Or is there a better answer?
I am not experienced at all using SSH Tunneling so if there is a way
to use it transparently to connect the two end units, I don't know
it.
I'm not sure what thread you refer to, but I suspect I do. The thread
involved my buddy who has the following how-to (I also don't recall if
the how-to was mentioned in the thread). He and I were able to chat
over ssh. There was a time delay (the geo distance was between
Cincinnati and Chicago). However, we sorta got used to it after a while.

Yes, that's the thread. Nice to know there is a page written up for it.
The problem I see is how to make a connection in the first place.
On the end in the US, all incoming packets are blocked unless initiated
from inside.
I am going to travel to Guatemala and set-up the internet connection
there myself.
Right now, I don't know whether there will be any blocking on that end yet.
Either way, I would still like to know if I can route this through a
third server that both can freely access.
It seems likely to me, but I've never done anything like that.
When that thread came out, I knew, sooner or later I would use it.
