It runs from a local user directory without the need for a root type install. I downloaded and started it a few weeks back. I haven't actually tried making a call yet though.

I used it in testing my Asterisk system at my last job. It's really a neat program, it's just a little strange setting it up. Oh, and the SIP protocol sucks ass. If you're behind a NAT, good luck in getting it working right.

What type of problems can we expect? I've used it behind my firewall without trouble, both for send and receive. Is this what the STUN is used for? |

Yes, that's what STUN is used for. The main problem comes when your SIP phone (soft or hard) is behind a NAT, and your VoIP SIP service provider is somewhere else. The SIP protocol doesn't properly account for NAT, but it does work sometimes without using STUN (I think, it's been a while since I've looked at this stuff). I just remember having problems getting my Asterisk server talking to our VoIP provider through a NAT. And if you've got a SIP<==>NAT<--->Internet<--->NAT<==>SIP connection, it's even more difficult. IAX2 does not have this limitation, but I haven't heard of many phones that can speak IAX2, and it's primarily an Asterisk protocol (Inter-Asterisk eXchange v2)...
