Dear all, I'm trying to get some decent documentation out of Linksys on the PAP2T. The manual is about as useful as toilet paper for a fish. I've been on hold for 30 minutes to their 0800 technical support number, and I can understand why. When I did get through their assistance was nothing more than another 30 minutes of we will _not_ help you! In fact, the person I was speaking to reacted...

Hi, I am looking for some help & advise. I have just brought a second hand Netgear TA612V which is locked to Sipgate, from what I can tell they all are, but I see on the Sipgate web site there is a link to unlocking the device with "open Firmware". https://secure.sipgate.co.uk/user/autoconfig/pleaselogin.php?partner=netgear My questions: 1) If I unlock the device this way how easy is it to...

Hi, I have just got my Fritz 7170. I was just wondering is it possible to set up an answer service on my computer?? If so how do I do it? and how hard is it to do? Thanks Nigel --

Does anyone know if you can use the Voyager 220V as a stand-alone voip client, i.e. plug a phone in one port and then use one of the LAN sockets to connect to your network, and simply ignore the ADSL modem? I was thinking of getting a 10V, but there seem to be lots of 220V's around going cheap on ebay.

I am still trying to sort out the caller ID problem on my Linksys SPA 3102. With your help it is all working perfectly apart from this. I have posted on Voxilla explaining the problem and uploaded my config file (with passwords etc removed). Any help would be welcome. The link is

Following on a thread last week about voicecheap.com, I thought I'd give them a try. And it "just works". Downloaded their client onto a sacrificial old laptop (just in-case), got an account, transfered it into my asterisk system and it did exactly what it says on the tin. I had a half-hour chat with a friend (in 5-minute segments!) yesterday and didn't pay a penny. (It wouldn't normally as I'd...

I am looking for an ATA where I can have 2 VOIP lines and a POTS connection (1 FXO and 2 FXS connections). I know you can have one VOIP line and a POTS connection. Does such a device exist?

When I am on a VOIP call, calls to my BT line ring (and ring) I have a SPA 3102 and have set the "Off Hook While Calling VoIP" to yes but this seems to make no difference. Is there anything else I should set. Thanx

Arrrrgggghhhhh. What have you started me on? http://forum.voxilla.com/asterisk-support-forum/display-cli-slimp3-21623.html#post100400 Haven't had any replies to my please for help on Voxilla, Trixbox or the Slimdevices forum. Can you assist?

I've now got an incoming number with voxbone, which I've allegedly set up correctly on their site, of the form , and also set up the DID forwarding. However, when I call the number from either my Orange mobile or my ex-NTL phone line, I get a number unobtainable signal. I've got a Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT v23 SP2, and a Linksys PAP2T (recently flashed with the latest...

"A US judge has banned internet phone firm Vonage from using technology patents owned by rival Verizon after it was found to have infringed its rights. A permanent injunction was issued on Vonage using the technology to connect users to landline phones but it was stayed for two weeks pending an appeal." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6486671.stm Possibly bad news for us Vonage users...

As part of my SPA 3102 dialling plan I have S0#:@gw0 This, as I understand it, will select my BT line instead of my VOIP line. Is this correct and is # a good choice?

Can someone please advise me how to adjust the volume on a snom 300. I can hardly hear it ringing. Using the volume control on the phone casing has no effect. Have I messed up one of the config settings whilst I was mooching around its setup. Any help would be appreciated. yours dave

Hello, I use voipcheap.com SIP connectivity with Asterisk - as do many of my customers. Over last weekend, everyone got cut off. Error messages in the logs pointed to a codec problem. It appeared that they stopped supporting GSM last weekend - and that was the only protocol I had configured. Having switched myself and all my customers over to g729a earlier this week,

My router (Linksys ADSL2 Gateway) has a QoS setting. Would I notice any improvement in calls via my Linksys 3012 ATA if I set QoS to high on the ports it is using. Sound quality is Ok but occasionally there is a little echo and people say I sound a little far away although the volume my end is fine. If I wanted to boost my sound to them I presume I alter either SPA to PSTN gain or PSTN to...

I was hoping some one in here could recommend a fixed line telephone provider that has cheap (or free, but this probably unlikely) line rental. I have just started using voip for my calls (via voip.co.uk) and no longer use my land line. I have burglar alarm with an auto-dialer which I still want plugged into my land line (as I'm still not to confident about the reliability of my Internet...
