You should check in the sipXproxy.log file to see if the REGISTER
requests are reaching sipX at all.  From there you can determine what to
examine next.

Notice that each REGISTER gets a 401 Unauthorized response.  Usually the
first REGISTER gets a 401 response, and (since the 401 provides a fresh
nonce) the immediately following REGISTER succeeds.  Having all the
REGISTERs get 401 responses is often due to buggy phones that do not use
the same to-tag on the second REGISTER that they used on the first
REGISTER.  And looking at your log file, I see that is the case --
compare frames 11277, 11305, and 11320, which all have the same Call-Id
but different to-tags.

As we've documented at http://interop.sipxecs.org/:

        The authentication nonces provided by sipX are specific to the
        from-tag in the request. Section 8.1.3.5 of RFC 3261 requires
        that a re-sent request has the same from-tag as the original
        request, so the nonce that sipX returns in a 401/407 response
        can always be used in a re-send of the request. However, some
        UAs will incorrectly use a different from-tag when resending a
        REGISTER. These UAs will not be able to register.

You need to file a bug report with SJphone.

A long transit time shouldn't harm SIP signaling that much, but the
media (voice) packets might be disrupted to the point of being useless.
