So if you can work out how to disable their built-in VoIP then you should be
OK.


I don't know what the current incarnation of the HH is or what it is
based on (it used to be based on a Speedtouch router), and Speedtouch
routers, particularly those with built in VoIP ATAs, seem to have a
pre-configured port binding that prevents you from using SIP on the
standard port.

I believe it is removable via telnet, but you'll have to Google it
yourself (currently on a train, I keep losing 3G signal and GPRS is
quite painful).

The BT Home Hub 2 is pretty well locked down, not much you can do with it unless there is an option in the web interface. Personally I'd suggest dump the BT Home Hub 2 (or not use it as a router and just as a wireless access point/switch) and get a better router. I've heard good things about the Draytek ones.
