I'm new to NZ... so took the opportunity to sign up with an ISP offering naked dsl and Xnet seemed like the goer with their great call costs etc.

However, since I signed up (and the telecom guys eventually connected the correct wiring pair in the exchange) I see it's quite difficult to get a non-linksys device enabled for VFX.

I'd prefer not to have to buy a new ATA or get a asterix trunk etc up and running when the NB9W modem / router I have has a sip client built in.

What are the chances of getting the sip settings and an auth id etc rather than having to buy a linksys ATA?
