Cool!

And example from wireshark's summary buffer:

SIP	593	Request: OPTIONS sip:cloos [ELIDED_SIP_PROVIDER_IP]

The string 'cloos' does not exist in the config for that provider.
I suppose it might get it from my ekiga.net account name rather than
from getuid(2) and getpwnam(3), but that is the only place it exists
in my ekiga config.

Every second, though, is too often.  And it should use the configured
user or auth user name for each remote proxy.  The time between should
be configurable.  I'd prefer 45 seconds or so.  (Anything under 60
should work for udp nat here.)

OK.

I'd hate to get banned by sending crap packets to a pstn gateway service.

OK.
