VPN over SSL /w UDP?

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

An "easier" thing might be to set up an add'l Asterisk box in your house
and have it send an IAX tunnel to your external server.  SIP/NAT issues go
away -- and any of those WRT54G's would do the trick handsomely (I've run
four simultaneous calls over one w/o touching the load).  You'll have to
set up an IAX trunk, but it's all feasible...

P.S.  Or, assuming the external box is being used for your PSTN uplink,
you could just do the uplink, also, from your WRT54G -- always assuming,
of course, that it doesn't involve a T1 or POTS card.
