Hi all,
I`ve seen this discussed in a thread here, but can`t find the thread. It`s
going to smack me in the face 2 seconds after I post this message of course


Someone told me of the best codec to use for a Sky box, or other modem use,
on a Linksys PAP2. Anyone care to refresh my memory please?

Thanks!

More than likely be G711a

Cheers. it came with G711u as standard, just changed to a. Will see if it
makes a difference to call quality for me now.

Has anyone succeeded in getting a Sky box to communicate via VoIP?
My tests have all been failures.

You also need to

turn off echo cancellation
Set `Jitter Buffer Adjustment` to disable


I'd also be tempted to set `Use Pref Codec Only` to yes - just to
makesure your service provider doesn't try to setup a call using another
codec.

'Network Jitter Level' set to high (or higher) may help too.

On a sipura device, use a 3.xx firmware. Infact, I don't think those
settings exist in 2.xx

I've not used a sky box, but I have in the past had our PDQ machine
running with a gradwell account.

Coo. Which PDQ?

I had a brief try with one (failed miserably) but I thought it was worth
a shot when I read the modem specs.

hypercom something.

Probably the same type, I'll have another go.

So far I`ve had no joy. It dials out, and I can hear the two systems trying
to sunchronise. They don`t seem to get off to a good start. `ll keep
playing with settings, maybe even dig out a modem

Which VoIP service provider are you using - not all are equal!
