What happened to the PAP2T?

[burris]

I have the GS...PAP2T...SPA2102..and who knows what else.

Even though I can go in have done my own programming, etc., I have chosen to let VOIPo do the configuration on-line by them.
Even though it goes against my basic nature, letting them control it has been flawless for me.

For some time now I have been using the GS502 and hope I'm not jinxing it by saying so, the service for me is as good as it gets...

I sometimes connect the PAP2 and this also works well...and my SPA2102 is a gem.

I use a separate router as I have never found a combined ATA/router or Modem/router combo to work very well. Just my experience. I will only put my ATA or modems behind my router and with port forwarding, I have smooth sailing.

Insofar as your desire to have unfailing service in the VOIP world, I don't think it exists. We are tied to the quality of our ISPs as well as the rest of the internet.

Thanks for the info. And I find it funny that you have your fear of "jinxing" your prosperity by talking about it. BUT I have had direct results to the negative jinx, each time I talk about it. That is why it has taken me so long to make a move. But I'm going to have to bite the bullet and jump. As far as "unfailing" service, I agree, it does not exist. But I am trying to get best from what I have. From what I have been through for trouble shooting with my PAP2T, the GS502 seems to put itself in the space that VoIPO seems to imply that is the best for service. This can not be done with a PAP2T. Although I have all the ports forwarded and the unit in the DMZ, which leaves it out the open, there still are issues. So, I my mind if one piece of gear doesn't do it, then move on to another. And the coincidental increased use of the 502 leads me to wonder.

I'm open to all variables. I just need to get the best out of this. Even if it means a new provider. Which I probably won't do, since they're all just about the same. VoIPO has a few less features than ones I have used in the past. So . . . . now back to wondering. Maybe taking the jump is what is will take. Sittin' on this barbed wire fence is pokin' holes in my . . . . pants.
