[Techtalk] IPtables help (VoIP related) [SOLUTION - somewhat]

[Elwing]

There isn't one :(  And I'm certainly not skilled enough at IPTables to 
write one myself.

I ended up doing my "last resort" option - provisioning my second IP and 
hanging the VoIP modem out on the network - I call this a last resort in 
that there are all kinds of ports open on the box that I'd prefer 
wouldn't be available on the open network.  The only consolation is that 
it has nothing to do with my internal network at all.  I'll be stopping 
at Best Buy/CompUSA tonight to get a broadband router that's known to 
work with this VoIP box, and put it behind that.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
