Gentlemen, thank you all for your input, I'm going to take some time and go through your suggestions and see what will work best.
I'm stuck with this ISP for the present, but others are similarly restrictive when it comes to SIP telephony, though less so where 3rd party modems are concerned. I'm making enquiries about that with other ISPs as part of this process, but there seems to be general paranoia about end users having access to SIP credentials for some reason.
I've now got a bigger issue in that the 'Public' share I created on the RAID pool can't be written to for some odd reason, no matter what permissions I give in the ACL (which I 'think' I'm doing right. I've removed and recreated the share several times, but it seems to allow read access but not modify, create or delete and nothing I do seems to alter that. Another share on the same Pool is fine. And a third share on a different pool is also ok. Not sure what's going on other than that I HATE TrueNAS permission setting which seems to have very complicated and multiple points where you can inadvertently break something. In 11.3 I simply used root for access (no I don't need to worry about security in this environment) but upgrading to TrueNAS broke this - it's disallowed for SMB authentication for some unstated reason (presumably corporate security paranoia) and I had to create users, which seemed to work on 12.1 but after updating to the latest in the maintenance feed, now it doesn't. I've tried tinkering with the filesystem ACL (why that even exists is a mystery, possibly broke something there.). Anyone know a way to get rid of ACLs and just let anyone access anything with full permissions? That's all I really need anyway. But just a way to fix the stuff below the Public sharepoint would be good, I have no idea what half the stuff in the ACLs is even for, the more I use TrueNAS the more I love Netware....
Thanks again for all your help with this.
