You should respond, "Good Job [MSP] that is indeed how a SIP Trunk traverses a network. Do you want a gold star or a lollipop?"
-
So are they showing a private line to the ISP? Why is ISP in that weird box?

Because they had ME doing the graphics? (Seriously, have you seen my slides from MangoCon?)

Because they didn't know how to type "ISP" in another cloud graphic?

the graphic is downright confusing. Somehow your normal network gets directly to the internet, but your SIP has to go to an ISP.. lol

Right, I get if the phone system is bypassing the firewall and headed out to the internet. they didn't want to deal with configuring any firewall rules etc.
But to drop another ISP icon there.....

I think they are suggesting that only ISPs are able to trunk to the PSTN... which is blatantly false and often (always?) the exact opposite of what you want to do.

This I don't understand. SIP Trunks are pretty easy to configure for the firewall.

yeah, I'm not really involved in this office at all (or any business decisions) my boss is. So I honestly
have no cluecould care less what the actual documentation is saying. Because if I am not involved in the decisions, then I won't fix their mistakes.Just a bunch of IP address for the voip phones.

On an side note, this is the same place that setup a brand new physical install server in a remote office without any out of band management on the hardware. Running Server 2012 R2
So double negative there..

These vendors are playing on fears - real or imagined.

Deceptive marketing is a real problem... especially for stupid people.

So someone from the IT staff at the hospital emailed me. I replied. Then I got an email back saying that they are using ChoiceMail One and mymessage is being held because it wasn't on their list of addresses......
So I had to go into this portal and type my name and the reason for the email and then fill out a captcha. And now it has to be manually approved. Seriously?

Simple answer, don't respond and if anyone asks say that they refused your email.

Next you'll need to print out the form, and mail it to them along with a copy of the e-mail.

Ya that's not spam filtering. That's just refusing email.
