Vonage Just thought I would reply as I wasn't able to get my DTivo unit to call out for around
Just thought I would reply as I wasn't able to get my DTivo unit to call out for around 30 days on Vonage using the internal modem. I couldn't choose another number from the list as it needed to dial out to receive new numbers, and I couldn't get it to dial, so that was a no-go.
Weaknees.com wanted something like $80 just for the external modem kit, not including the cable, so I started looking. Not wanting to make my own cable, Hyperterm into the modem and change strings (although I am in IT and know how to do this), I came across this auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3083818576&category=11725&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT&rd=1
I bid, won, received the package, plugged in the cable to the modem, turned it on, dialed out, and everything connected just fine. The dip switches on the modem are already configured, so you only need to chage the prefix on the DTivo. I changed the prefix to ,#319,1 (I added the one because I couldn't change the local dialing number to use a 1 then area code without first dialing out to obtain a new list of numbers). After dialing out, it obtain the new numbers for my area, and I then changed the way DTivo dials to dial the 11 digit code, then changes the prefix to just ,#314... and everything works fine.
I tried a few other prefixes like ,#311 = 115k ,#356 = 56k ,#319 = 19.2k ,#314 = 14.4k ,#396 = 9600 ... I could get ,#311 to work, but I'm not sure about its stability. ,#319 seems to work best so far, and has worked EVERYTIME I have forced a call.
Anyway... just passing this info on. The guy doesn't have any modem kits on auction right now, but his email addy is questions@eksys.com, and I think he always has stuff available.
