Look for a little package called Cain and Abel... the latest update included a Voip module for recording streams...

If you are using the router that has the Vonage adapter built in it is a bit harder. What you need is two network cards in your computer. From the modem (cable or DSL) you need to plug that into the hub (the uplink) then plug in the router and the second network card into the hub (Can't be a switch). Then just like before, plug in your first network card into your router. This setup should also work. When you install Ethereal make sure you have it capture off your second netowrk card to get the phone traffic. I would assume this woud work, but I am not 100% sure. Smile

Let me know if it does. I also have the same setup where the router is also the Vonage Adpater. But I am lucky and my PC already has two network interfaces in it. Maybe I will test it out this weekend.

Just get Phone tools software from BVRP.
Then plug your modem into your phone system.
Then you open the software and its just like a phone!
Now you can do whatever you want. I think it also has its own recording feature but if not you can use your computer to do that.
Creative Labs makes great software for this.
But since your now running through your modem the possiblities are endless as to what you do with it.

Good Luck

Shack,

Would it be easier to plug a hub into an additional router? I also have another router besides the one from Vonage.

It doesnt matter if it is Voip or landline. it runs through your modem and that is the tie in to your computer. But OK. The hard way works too.

where can i download "Phone Tools" at? I can't find it anywhere besides bvrps website and the description doesn't say anything about recording on their website.

also ... how would I plug everything in? .. Plug my Vonage adapter into the line RJ11 on a dialup modem and than the telephone into the other RJ11 on the modem?
