Not sure if I can follow you. I guess you are using a router when using
DSL (unlike with 3G where you are connected directly to the network),
therefor you'll need to use a sip-proxy or forward port 5060 through the
router.

Again, configure a proxy.

You can use http://www.sflphone.org/ - it has both a GTK and QT
interface.
