I do a fair number of  VoIP installations at work, of course with 
proprietary (standards compliant) phones.  I know in h.323 
implementations, an h.225 or h.245 packet is sent for offhook, onhook, 
digits dialed, etc.  I'm sure SIP has similar packets between the 
endpoint and the SIP gateway, but I don't know what they are.  Helpful, 
aren't I?

The real reason I'm responding to this is to recommend clarkconnect, 
from point clark.  The community version is free.  It's what I use, and 
I am very happy with it.  SSH, VPN (PPTP and IPSec) firewall, email, 
mysql....  The list goes on.  Check it out at
