Hello as the title suggest I'm very new to the VoIP world. I've studied the registration protocol for SIP but that's about it.
Saying that I'd like to setup a SIP server behind a firewall and have someone from the outside talk to a voip phone behind the firewall.
Some general questions, there are a good amount of windows SIP servers that look pretty straight-forward and simple to setup. But some of my friends have told me to setup an asterix server if I want a real sip server (not sure what that really means other than the linux v windows debate of what's better). I'd like to register soft and real phones (polycom,etc) with this server as well.
So any initial advice would be great to get me started in this world
Thanks in advice and forgive me for any stupid questions I might post along the way.
