[NBLUG/talk] Linux as router

[Osiris Pedroso]

I am using Vonage as VoIP and been pretty happy with it, although the
occasional ftp disrupts my calls.

The Vonage documentation says that using the Motorola phone adapter in front
of everything else enables it to use QoS features that prevent this kind of
problem, but it is not what I am seeing. 

That is my main thrust to get a Linux router/firewall and then do some
traffic shapping to make sure that does not happen anymore.

Interesting article you sent, but Vonage seems to have worked around the
problem described in it.

Thanks,

Osiris Pedroso

I saw this one on my Asterisk mailing list.  I thought it might help you in 
the long run.

What type of VOIP phone/service are you using?
