STUN is VoIP over TCP/IP tunneling. You open a TCP tunnel to an STUN  
server and it makes UDP connections as needed.

Asterix 1.6 has support for NAT and in some cases does not need a  
tunnel to work. I have 3 TCP connections, only 1 needs an STUN tunnel.

Just in case anyone reading this needs to know, there are many free  
STUN servers out there, some of them on unusual ports, e.g. 80, 25,  
etc to go through firewalls.
