Re: ATA Hardware
As far as I know I don't use PPPoE, I don't have any settings in my router for it to login, I just connect it and it works. I know this is laymen terminology but it is just easier to explain it this way. Also I chose the particular ATA because it was free, I never have used voip and want to try it in the cheap. I don't know if my provider will allow me to have my own ATA.

Most aDSL connection through a modem that I knew of using a PPPoE connection with a login and yours doesn't even do a login. I had tried an aDSL promotion back in 2002 through a fiber connection where the telco sent its technician to replace a little adapter connected to the demarc to split out an RJ45. I could just plug in my router or computer to the RJ45 port (no aDSL modem involved) and it went online right the way with a public IP Address assigned from the ISP.
