Congrats ZYZZY- a man after my own heart!
Are you tied to SIP. IAX (Asterisk's native protocol) has better support for traversing firewalls/NAT routers and its easier to setup. I only ask b/c I like

There is a good list here:

I am partial to Idefisk (worst name ever to try and remember)
http://www.asteriskguru.com/idefisk/ ... even used it on an SAS flight to make calls once

If you really want SIP, the defacto is X-Lite which I hate too much to even link to...its riddled with problems.
Here's a list of others:
