I have Sonic FTTN (not true Sonic Fusion).
Analog voice telephone service is simulated by the Sonic-provided ATA, which runs VOIP.
Question: Can I put the ATA behind my firewall?
If so, what ports/protocols should I open, so that the ATA can get the service that it needs?
Reason I want to do this, is that I'm trying to run my own firewall/router. I want to set the AT&T residential gateway, Arris NVG599, into "passthrough" mode. Not sure if this mode creates conflicts if there is more than one device connected to the residential gateway, though, but it sure sounds like it would.
So, I figured I'd put all my stuff behind my firewall/router, including the ATA, and then there would be only one device (my router) exposed to the RG. Good, or bad, idea?
