Re: Speakeasy VOIP? said by j_nichols:
I'm not too sure if this is such a great idea, security-wise.
internet---->voice term----->linux box(router)---->network
But that lineup is done so the TA can do shaping and a degree of QOS for voice traffic...

The voice terminal stores your user name and password for your speakeasy account.
Why would the voice terminal store your username and password? PPPoE? I'm on static, perhaps they pre-set the details in the TA before it was sent out...
Hmm, there was a "MAC address" setup in the web interface you get (to the service, not the TA) but don't know if it was necessary...

| I just got off the phone with SE inquiring about the Beta program for VOip.
As a previous poster noted, the Beta test is for anyone that wants to request it. The trial lasts for 2 months at which time you can either keep it or have it disconnected.
SE has the service priced at $30/month. I'm paying $30 month for MCI "The Neighborhood" right now. Free long distance and more importantly, I get frequent flyer miles for every dollar I spend.
I'd love to get completely off of Bell and go VOip but SE needs to make it worth it. I'm not thrilled with the idea of paying the exact same for a service that has the potential for NOT being as reliable as what I currently have. Not to mention the hassle of changing numbers... |

kudos:1 | I'm sure they will allow you to port your number. Atleast I would hope so if they want to do well with voip. |
