Vonage PAP2 and Directv

I've searched the forum for answers but have not found any solutions to the Directv receiver making daily calls. Has anyone had recent success with the PAP2 and Directv completing calls lately? Please share your settings.

I guess noone else has any issues.

Don't know if you've seen this:

I'm using the PAP2 with DirectTivo and have tried most of the combos listed in the thread linked above. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm on the 500 minute plan and noticed that I was spending more minutes on tivo calls than on any other number out there, so I just unhooked the thing.

I'm leaning towards doing some hacks to the Directivo unit to eliminate the need to call in. Or, setting up a serial connection to allow broadband dialing without hacking. Lots of info on doing this can be found at http://www.tivocommunity.com/
