To test the SPA just dial it direct from the softphone.  Not sure how you'd 
test the reverse direction... but this is just a minimal test.

Better test : sign up at ekiga.net.  Its a free VoIP service (no PSTN, just 
between members) which will let you connect to all sorts of places and some 
other test resources like their echo server, etc

Secondary :
VM to E-Mail with Asterisk is pretty easy.  Transcription is NOT.  Pretty much 
every STT tool I've heard of sucks...

three levels of desire:
primary:
doing it to test the SPA?  Yes.
set it up with an ITSP?  Yes, a little later, my ITSP says they don't have a 
local number available right now, should be a week or two.
once that's done, I will kill bell off my line asap.  
secondary:
I would like my voice mail to go to my email account, to have a single 
inbox.even better would be google voice style transcription, so I can get
the idea without having to listen.

Depends what you want to do... to merely test the SPA you could call it direct 
via its IP within your local LAN.  If you're looking to set it up direct with 
an ITSP then you don't need to do anything funky with your firwall normally, 
including forwarding.  Asterisk is another game altogether and of course lets 
you do all sorts of awesome stuff.  So.. what exactly is your goal?

Hi folks,

I'm bought a linksys/sipura SPA2102 phone adapter, and I have an all linux 
network (even the firewall is debian)  completely clueless about how to set 
things up...  newbie questions:


-- I don't want to replace my firewall, so just want the adaptor on the LAN 
somewhere...

If I just port forward incoming SIP  (5060 and 5061) from fw to adapter, will 
that work (I appreciate I might have to do some QoS work, besides that...)?

-- thinking about trying things out just doing local calls within the house... 
soft phone to analog phone on the adapter.  clues on how to start out?  good 
linux soft phone? do I need asterix or can the softphone just initiate a SIP 
call to the SPA on the LAN?
