I don't know about how much it's been covered, but DialPad works well for
me, Arnie...
You DO need to make several accommodations to IP routing..
1. Ensure your DialPad workstation has a static IP address, DHCP won't work
here..
2. Enable TCP port 51210 to your workstations IP address
3. Enable UDP port 51200 and 51201 to your workstations IP address.
You can turn these off while you're not using DialPad if you wish, but
unless you're running some type of daemon other than DialPad on *THAT*
workstation there's really no need...
HopeItHelps!

Subject: [ShareTheNet] map incoming ports to make free telephone calls
Dear Thanks for Helping:
I'm sure this has been covered, as nauseum. But you know how it is.
You just skim it and ignore it until you need it and then can't find it!
I've been playing around with dialpad (dialpad.com) which let's you make
free calls anywhere in the US. And free is something worth playing
around with, I think.
Anyway, when I make a call, I can be heard by the other party but I
can't hear them. Ad of course a "firewall" prevents this and is
discussed in the faq from dialpad:
If you have a private network, even though you can call
someone, you wouldn't be able to hear the remote end. This is
because the incoming voice packets cannot find its way to the
PC without a valid (public) IP address.
In order to use Dialpad on a private network, you have to map
the incoming ports on the server. You have to map the
following incoming ports
UDP: 51200, 51201
TCP: 51210
If you need a trigger for them, use TCP: 7175 (outgoing)
application/ms-tnef
