IP phoning

Guys!

Moved to DSO about three weeks ago and have been off-line until a couple of days ago. When I hook up my modem and IP phone (thank god for that invention!) there's no joy. I call Etisalat and they tell me it's been blocked due to security!!! What can I say? Third world (or forth, or fifth or...)

Question is, is there any way around this that you know of? Heard that you can call your provider in your home country and have them assign a different port to the modem. I'm totally out of my depth here. Any info greatly apprechiated!

Thanks!
