RE: [OT] VOIP and Sipgate

["Alex Clark" <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ditto too.

I'm using a Sipura 2000 (tried to get it cheaply from USA, but got stung by
customs and ended up paying more than if I'd bought it here!).  I have two
Sipura accounts and the quality is as good as a landline.

I feed my lines into my phone system.

I'm having a slight problem at the moment with having to reset (pull the
plug out) about once a day as it seems to lose the lines.  This could be a
firewall problem at my end, or even my DHCP.  Haven't had time to play with
it enough yet.

Alex.

I'm using it with 2 IP phones (both Grandstream BT102) and an analogue
adapter (Grandstream ATA486) with a "normal" handset connected.
Each of the
phones is configured for a different Sipgate account/number. I've also used
a softphone (X-Lite), but found the sound quality a little disappointing -
could easily be my setup rather than the software.

Configuring each phone and the firewall was a bit fiddly to get each using
a
different IP port, but not too bad. I still need to sort out one minor
problem, I can only use one phone at any time - mostly probably a config
issue, just need to spend a few minutes working out where I went wrong.

Sipgate have recently introduced a voicemail service also, works fine,
emailing the message as a .wav file attachment.
