If you can get me the version of the Linksys that did this - that would help
me. Others have reported this too, I'm sure it happens, I just can't find a
version that does it. There was a SIP ALG on the linksys stuff but that now
defaults to off. 

I have some traces that show this happening on an older Speedstream ss2604
too so if someone has one of these and would be willing to send it to me,
I'll swap you some other Linksys with a wireless access point.
