[VoiceOps] Customer Premise Firewall/Router Recommendations

We're 100% happy with recommending Sonicwall for the customers in that
price range.  In their VoIP settings, enable "Consisten NAT" and
disable all else, it will be reliable and stable.  The NSA240 for the
customers wanting high-end features, and the TZ210 for simple/cheap.

Right now we are looking at Edgewater routers that have some good
VoIP-specific features.  Haven't decided on them, but I think you
should take a look.  My rep is Kevin Asano, 408-351-7220,
kasano at edgewaternetworks.com.
