    unique for each softphone that registers a the proxy (So this is more or
    less the mechanism that you mentioned in your mail).

+Hi there
+
+
+As the maintainer of siproxd I may provide some useful informations ;-)
+
+First I have to admin that the documentation of siproxd is
+a) far from complete
+b) not very detailed yet
+c) could be better ;-)
+
+For your enviroment the config of the linphone SIP parameters
+would look like:
+
+Your sip address:	sip:rbrewer@<your_ppp_IP_address>
+Server address:		sip:192.168.0.1
+Address of record:	sip:rbrewer@<your_ppp_IP_address>
+
+The following check boxes enabled:
+- use sip registrar
+- Proxy server 
+- Outbound Proxy
+
+<your_ppp_IP_address> is the IP address (or host name) that you
+got on the PPP link.
+
+For siproxd, the outbound address will be <your_ppp_IP_address>.
+Currently, you have two possibilities to use dynamic IP addresses
+with siproxd:
+
+a) Edit the config file each time you IP changes
+   I agree, this is not desirable
+
+b) use some dynamic DNS service and then use the host name.
+   I personally use DynDNS (-> http://www.dyndns.org)
+
+I may add some better support for dynamic IP addresses within
+siproxd.
+
+(has anybody some C code snipplets at hand how to fetch the IP
+address of a specific interface by knowing just its name?)
+
+

+>   Address of record  sip:rbrewer@192.168.0.1
