[VoiceOps] Solving port blocking issue @ softphone

[Ryan Delgrosso]

443 for sip over TCP works pretty well, but for UDP i usually just pick 
a few random port numbers. The more common the more likely you are to 
get a ALG for another protocol inspecting them and maybe doing silly 
things. I prefer it to go un-inspected if possible.
