[Ekiga-list] HOWTO: get rid of "Registration failed" when using USRobotics 9108

[Feryllt <feryllt gmail com>]

If you have the USRobotics USR 9108 ADSL/Modem Router and Ekiga (or 
other SIP clients) fails registering to the SIP service with an error 
like "registration failed" and "timeout" maybe is due to the buggy SIP 
Proxy boundled within the router.

To disable the proxy:
1) Open a telnet session with the router (check how to do that on your 
system)
2) Login as the 'admin' user (the password is the same that you use when 
access the router with the browser)
3) In the router shell launch the command ('>' is the prompt)
> siproxd disable
4) Close the telnet session
5) Your preferred SIP client (i.e. ekiga) should work fine now

Not tested: If after a reboot the router automatically re-enable the SIP 
Proxy.

Best regards,

P.S.: The SIP Proxy within the router is siproxd-0.5.10-3259
