Re: [Cable] Teksavvy and FreePhoneLine.ca not working together

I used to use the free FPL client but that thing was bugging out so bad for whatever reason on my PC that I decided to cough up the $50 so I could use XLite instead. In my personal experience, XLite is easily 10X more reliable than FPL's in-house client.

Router? WRT54GSv2 with Toastman Mini-IPv6 firmware.

For the SIP client, I'm using X-Lite 5 softphone on my PC.

While using a PC-based softphone is annoying when calls come in while the screen is locked out or off, I very much like being able to use my PC headset instead of an actual phone so looking for an ATA, IP-phone or WiFi-phone dropped off my priority list at least for now.

Okay, that's what I thought. I wasn't sure if x-lite had hardware for connecting to the SIP. I'm still researching for ATA, not sure who sip hardware to buy. Seems that overall, buying your own hardware and configuring it, rather than having it shipped out configured already, is the better way.

Although I do have a MagicJackPlus for the second line, other than 90 minute time limits, it's been pretty flawless, although their billing is very odd. My phone stopped working, despite that I was charged $29 for the year -- turns out they didn't charge the $10 for the Canadian number, which I did separately.
