I've got a Netgear TA612V on sipgate and I was wondering whether there's
any replacement firmware (or hack) out there that will let me access the
VoIP menu?

I don't want to leave sipgate - I just want to set line two to use a
different codec so that inband DTMF from the PSTN will work correctly!
Their support haven't been terribly helpful...

I've tried google, but had no luck so far...

In a word, no. I believe it's possible with special firmware from Netgear
but not with the standard version.

That's unusual. Who did you deal with..?

I have the same problem and would wish to be able to connect the second port
to a second provider as the menu is disabled. It might be worth contacting
Netgear.

They won't tell you.

Drat! Any ideas how I might get my hands on it? Google and the Netgear
website haven't turned anything up...

I've had emails from many different people in sipgate support. In
fairness, they have all been keen to help, but ultimately have been no
help! They didn't have a clue what was causing inband DTMF from the
PSTN to fail and now they won't let me have access to change to the VoIP
menu to change the codec...

All I want to do is to connect my house alarm to the TA612V and be able
to control it by DTMF over the PSTN! Ho hum...

Unfortunately it isn't that they won't let you have access to the menu,
they simply can't. It's a feature of the firmware and only Netgear can
change that, which it appears at the moment they either can't or won't do.
