Sorry! These are about the best brownies I have ever had too! I am sure that being on a diet has nearly nothing to do with my observation.

The forum is kind of quiet (this is a probably a good thing), so I will keep putting stuff in here for awhile until someone tells me to shut up, or I lose interest...

Yesterday, there were some issues with a couple of calls. Neither one showed up in the call history at all.

For the 1st one, to Canada, my wife dialed the number and nothing at all happened. I think she might have dialed 11 digits. I tried hours later, with 10 digits, and it went through just fine. Support said it would be better to dial 10 digits than 11 anyway.

For the 2nd one, a local call, the call was cut off in the middle of the conversation. I opened a ticket, and was suggested by support to turn port forwarding on in my router, so I did. I already had Qos turned on and a static ip lease for the ATA in place.

I tried more faxing today and a two page fax worked in both directions with my Lexmark All-In-One set to 9600 bps, and ECM on. I think I will leave it like that and not try to push the speed up, since I send/receive only a handful of faxes a year. I can always use the control panel fax thingy to send, if I need to.

My number port took place today. Not at 12:30, but around 19:00. I was told this was Future Nine's fault. Whatever. However, I am now getting the infamous 216-672-6203 calls every 30 minutes (1 ring only). This is apparently a test call as part of the porting process. 2 so far...how many of these am I going to get?

One thing to clarify with this. Future-Nine wouldn't even be involved in the porting process. It would be their carrier which I'm assuming is Verizon Wholesale.

Most of us providers don't even get notified for quite a while after a port out.

As far as test calls, they are every 30 minutes. That shouldn't be happening We use a third-party to process our ports (switching to paperless) and there should only be 1 test call. If more than that, I need to address that with them.
