Thanks. That is unfortunately nothing that I want. :-(  I already have  
a similar adapter with a US line. It works perfectly fine without port  
5060 redirect to it. I also do have an asterisk system, but it uses a  
different SIP port. IMHO having port 5060 open to asterisk is a way of  
finding the security holes in your asterisk system when you get your  
monthly phone bill.

As for the phone number, I've had this 02 number for 14 years and  
would like to keep it.

It's interesting that it works for faxes. Most VoIP won't unless you  
have t.38 fax machines at both ends and t.38 fax support all along the  
way. I think it will work with standard fax machines with ulaw or alaw  
codecs, but they use a lot of bandwidth.

Thanks, Geoff.
