I have an older Motorola Vonage adapter. I finally got around to hooking up
my 3 Dish boxes to the line. When I do the connection test, it shows OK.
But
when I try to do the dial out/update it continually fails.

Do I need a newer Vonage box?

Thanks in advance!
Dave

You are trying to get your Dish-boxes to dial out using VoiP?

You may have exceeded the capacity of the adapter with 3 units;
try one at a time.

Does the Viop connector work AOK for voice?

The 3 boxes just sit on the line and only dial out. Normal phone calls are
fine. When I monitor the line, sounds like I get modem from the distant end,
when the box tries to communicate, things just start getting all goofy and
the modem tones disappear (overly compressed?)

Certain modems and certain FAX units will not work over VoiP because
of the "compression" algorithms used in both units. You need to check
with your VoiP provider for a list of the modems/fax that they support.

Soop:

try prefacing your dial string with *99.

If that doesn't do the trick, try your question on Vonage user forums


Later...
Asswipe

I set the bandwidth saver to 90k and that seemed to do it. What does the
*99 do?

I didnt try the *99 .... I tried to add it as a dial prefix in the 921 and
the 921 wouldn't acccept a * as a digit.
Upping to highest bandwidth did solve the prob tho.
