[VoIP] Question about Asterisk & Wireless IP Phones

[Donald Froula]

I've beeen trying to configure my HP Ipaq Pocket PC
with wireless LAN capability to do just that. I
already use it in the house on the local wireless LAN
as a cordless VOIP phone with no problems, but
configuring the client to work on an outside LAN is
causing problems. The client I am using is pretty
buggy, but the best available at the moment (Express
Talk by NCH for Pocket PC).

I seems I should be able to use SIP to connect
directly to my server using the DynDNS address, but am
having problems getting this to work.

I'll report on any success with outside access.

Best,

Don
