I've been thinking about this again.

Etc. do you know of a hardware solution that would allow you to replace the firefly software in this example :

I was wondering if this box would allow you to configure one of the lines as above; with one provider for incoming calls and oinr for outgoing?

ok, firstly that box is the linksys pap2 which is what I have - it's a rebadged Sipura 2000 in a nicer case and a lot cheaper!

yes you can connect 2 VOIP services to it but you would need to use 2 seperate phones.

so perhaps you need a higher spec model... in theory you can setup the sipura 3000 to take your incoming calls from sipgate and pass them through to your phone and use that same line for outgoing via another voip provider.

ok, now there are dedicated forums such as voxilla for all this and it's dam technical - they talk about settings and loads of techy stuff which goes over my head. I researched for hours when I got mine and concluded I wanted the linksys/sipura base model as it was my first venture/experiment into this. the sipura 3000 also has the benefit of being able to route calls to your normal phone line - so really this is aimed at the higher end of the market. I think it's also got a built in router.

here's a couple of threads re what you're attempting to do:-

http://voxilla.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-6044.html
http://voxilla.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-6051.html


ok, next problem, the voipcheap/voipbuster provider does not work on this hardware although someone on that forum you quote has said they've managed it - I've not been able to get it to work. your calls dial out but when the other person answers it drops it. it doesnt help that voipbuster shut down their forums a few months back.

Well according to this thread:

http://voxilla.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopi...oipbuster.html

It is possible to get VOIPbuster working with it, just wonder if it's possible to get one line forwarded to the other so you don't have to use two phone.

I suggest you also check this forum out:-

Well thanks to your links Etc. I think I've answered my own question.

Looks like you can have voipbuster on line one and another provider on line two (who supply your geo number) and forward your calls from 2 to 1. The only issue is whether your geo number supplier allows "reinvites". Apparently Sipgate and the like have that feature disabled.



Guess I'll just have to wait until voipbuster start issuing incoming numbers!

what's viopbuster got that's so appealing for you? the free uk calls?

[Shaun]

Pretty much, that and free calls to the states.
