It is possible to have the SIP provider route calls to an IP address. This will alleviate the need to register with the provider.
Using a Linksys device may not be the answer either. The Linksys device can register with openser, but there are limitations on the handling of inbound calls. The linksys device assumes that the TO Header is the account name. There is a way to route the inbound DNID using the dial plan. You can contact Linksys support, they should be able to tell you. I would if I remembered how.
For asterisk we modified the code (very simple change) to allow Openser to route calls to asterisk and still use the users peer definition. The change is a very small change 3 lines of code, that works with both 1.2 and 1.4 branch of Asterisk. We can share this with you.

Hello,
Am I correct in my assumption that I can't directly connect Openser to a ITSP due to Openser not providing registration to the ITSP? This seems to be what I read in the Openser documentation. This being the case, I have a Linksys SPA9000 pbx that I can use as a gateway to the ITSP, but attempts to route 10-digit numbers to the pbx get a response of 403 Forbidden from the pbx (the pbx has registered to the Openser OK). I see that many use an asterisk for a gateway, how do they get around this problem with the asterisk?
Thanks, Scott Yagel PacketCall, Inc. syagel@packetcall.net
