The problem I have is that it stop * from working internally and on POTS as well. If SIP just stopped it would be a non-issue.
Not actually had a problem with it though, and I do have a few asterisk installations on non-internet connected sites... (hard to imagine, but there are people who don't connect stuff to the internet!)
