I've left it connected to the Internet, with a spare phone connected to Line 2 of the new device. I'm also letting it to DHCP to my main computer - a personal RT31P2 I have reboots on a regular basis and I'm curious if this will exhibit any similar symptoms.

Edit: a 4-line phone now connected to both devices (standard issue and alternate) which are online. Please let me know if doing any of this is going to impact my ability to receive incoming on my regular ATA.

Is it possible to get http access to the box? Saw some lights flash - this box may be also exhibiting rebooting behavior, either spontaneous or VOIPo induced. Without access to the box it's not easy to determine.

My RT31P2 rings both lines every few minutes - one short ring.

Sounds like the vm splash setting I believe.

Seems to have gone away - next time I have voice-mail I'll see if there is a correlation.

Yes, definitely VM Splash. New voice mail and sure enough we hear the short rings on a regular basis. Can't this be configured the same way as a PAP2T? Since the device is in our bedroom you can well imagine the wife's reaction to my "hobby" :-). And, it takes an awful long time for the VM Splash to go away after I delete the voicemail - I don't think it went away even then until I lifted and placed the receiver down a couple of times (I need to try this out to confirm).

Thing is I don't think were officially testing them yet. I am sure it will not be much longer.
