I don't believe so. As I said early on, I'm going with the phones simply 
registering to our main site instead of putting a server at the remote. 
This thread is still full of good input for this type of setup.

Right, and there are a few ideas on how to go about doing that in the thread. 
All of them add up to only two things though, remote users phones registering 
to a main site or remote sipx box which has a vpn connection back to the main 
site.

Yes, any remote sites would have at least one physical line.

This is the stuff I've not had any experience with and is why I asked. I have a 
better understanding of it now. It all sounds pretty straight forward

Looked around and doesn't appear that would work. 
I doubt anyone will be working on it but would have been nice as I have so many 
units. Aside from it's ATA ports, small boxes like this running pfsense would 
be very handy.
