Yes. If I have any issues, I can get the LinkSys WRT54G router with the Sveasoft firmware. The Vonage hardware QoS functionality built into it, but I have heard of people using other tricks if that didn't work. (They also didn't have the plentiful bandwith that I've got, too.)
I'll let you know how it works. http://www.broadbandreports.com/reviews/2410 Jim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of -ray Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 1:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [brlug-general] Asterisk Jim, Are you going to do any QoS on your connection so voice has priority?
