Vonage That sounds like a plausable theory. I think we all agree that it was a change in
That sounds like a plausable theory. I think we all agree that it was a change in the DirecWay system that caused our woes. I have talked to DirecWay support and they are just not interested in talking about VSAT.
Now if your theory were true, I have a question to throw out there. If people were indeed using Direcway to make large numbers of calls, how could that hurt DirecWay? They still have the FAP limits to keep bandwidth under control and if someone is paying for a huge bucket, then why would DW care what it was used for? In the end it is all bandwidth and since the great FAP god in they sky is watching every link, this should never be an issue.
I am finally throwing in the towel today and giving up on running Vonage over my DirecWay system. I am running up on the end of my 30-day money back guarantee period and am no closer than I was. If anyone finds a service that meets the following critera, please let me know:
* Makes clear inbound and outbound calls over VSAT (specifically DirecWay). 1/2 - 1 second latency delays are expected though.
* Does not cost more than land lines to use.
* Allows the use of a handset without requiring Windows (or any PC at all for that matter)
* Can make calls to and receive them from POTS land lines.
If you are searching these forums for information on using Voip on DirecWay (especially Vonage), it is my highly researched opinion that you are wasting your time with it. If you just need an incoming line, it works pretty well. If you need to make calls from it, it just isn't going to work. So if you are, for example, planning to run a POS terminal over DirecWay using a dial-up service through Vonage you are not going to be able to pull it off.
Hopefully this information will soon be obsolete and DirecWay will fix whatever is causing this problem.
Thanks for all of the advice and help. You folks have been great.
