Is there a FAQ file? 'Cause I have lots of Qs

Hi,

I have the most basic questions. I also have a Sipura SP841, an account on Broadvoice, and no phone service. ;) I'd like to trade in the questions for some answers/knowledge and maybe even, as a bonus, a working VOIP system.

Basically, the 841 is here behind my Linux NAT/firewall (netfilter) host and my net connection goes through Comcast cable. The phone has a fixed

192.168 address and the firewall uses DHCP with Comcast. I can see the phone's menu from browsers on other machines on my network, but I can't call out and incoming calls go straight to voice mail with the "Joe is busy" message.

Netfilter is set to ACCEPT udp from the external interface on ports 69,

5060:5063, and 10000:20000.

Is there a FAQ for this newsgroup? A good source for the very rudiments of application? I don't mind starting from the start to learn this stuff. Obviously jumping right in wasn't the optimal approach.

TIA,

Joe
