I just switched to Vonage from Voicewing because I wanted my Directv tivo to dial out, not to mention it is cheaper too. I have read a bunch of forums and found lots of different combinations of prefixes, call waiting options etc. None work. I have been able to get the tivo to dial and get to the point where it fails on negotiation. In only one place I found that this is because the modem speed is too fast and there is no way to slow it down. Please tell me someone here has got this too work and if you could post a link to or post the solution here. Thanks.

Well I have some good news for you. I was able to get it to dial out. Here is the problem...
If your sd-dvr40 currently has any software version less that 6 then I do not think you will be able to get it to dial out over Vonage. (If anyone was able to get it to go, please correct me.)
Here is the soloution. 1. take it to a friends house that has a land line and let it get the software update. If that doesn't work then see option 2.
2. this is what I had to do because for some reason it would not dial out at a friends house. I had to go to one of those underground sites (email me if interested.) and force version 6 onto my tivo. Not an easy thing to do if you are not computer hardware literate.
After this was all said and done, took like 4 hours from start to finish I was able to enter the Vonage codes into the tivo and sure enough it dials out like a charm.
