Running multiple VoIP providers on my LAN?

I had Packet8 during much of the early beta stage.
Should not be an issue.
If there is a port issue, the the router, or the VOSP is likely doing something wrong with NAT.
I expect Packet8 will be a solid product and simply plug and play.

Good to know! Thanks for the additional input.

On my setup just to be sure, I configured each of my SIP phones and ATA's to use different SIP and RTP ports. I have the Linksys from VOIPo which I believe uses 5060 and 5061. I also have a Cisco ATA186 that I set to use 5066, and a Grandstream that uses 5101. My Polycom uses something like 5068. The RTP ports are usually above 16000 and sometimes are random depending on the device, but I set them differently if I can.

I always ask someone how they can have multiple computers browsing the internet if they dont think multiple devices using the same port can work...

I have 4 ata's at work all configured to port 5060 no problems. Guess it depends on the chosen network equipment though...

Very nice analogy.

Fwiw, I have VOIPo's ATA and an old Vonage (Gizmo5, Freedigits) one on the same ports (5060, 5061) behind the same router without an issue.

As long as port forwarding is not used, multiple ATAs should not be a problem.
