A note to indicate that I now have Ekiga 2.0.12 working on ubuntu 8.10 via a
DSL 302G modem without having to configure port-forwarding or NAT Rule
Entries for the modem. 

This was achieved by following the advice of others in this thread to use an
iptel.org sip account.

I have the 'NAT Traversal Method' of Ekiga set to 'None', and the 'STUN
Server' entry field is empty.

Sound and video are functioning well. Unfortunately text chat is not
working, but this is a minor obstacle.

Thanks to all who took the time to provide helpful advice.
