That was my thought too - you could run asterisk internally, but it's a bit of big gun for this.
And it is a target for attacks :-(
But if you happen to know the IP address of the other side you can directly initiate the conversation, I think it was with Ekiga.
That ought to be sufficient - I wonder if it works.
In a LAN, yes, I tried it. But I don't remember what app I used, I think it was Ekiga.
I don't have hardware now to try and tell you the application and the function that does it. But with NAT in the mix, things get more complicated.
Not really, these days most VoIP clients (software or hardware) have the necessary "keep-alive" built in.
Well, you have to open the firewall, and the side receiving the call has to be listening on the outside, meaning that the router must be configured to forward some ports in advance. This may problematic if you are doing remote maintenance for someone that may not know how to do that, ie, that you do it for him. With an intermediary server in the mix it is automatic, but we are talking without one, direct. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
