Re: Simple voip

["John Nye" <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Martin,
You'll find that quite a few people on the list have Draytek routers.

I have the 2600V, but havn't got round yet to using the Voip bits yet, but
I'm sure others can advise.

Its a cracking router with the great asset of being able to throttle down
the bandwidth on each of the 4 ports so others in the house (me!) have a
chance of doing things whilst my lads are downloading half the content of
the www. Extremely reliable also!

John
