Re: Which hotels/other places can you plug a TA in
said by burgerwars  :Which hotels or other public places has anyone gotten their's connected to, hopefully without needing to reconfigure the thing? It's just plain easier leaving it with my home DHCP configuration. Uhhh. . .it WILL work anywhere any other DHCP device like a laptop would work. 
Provided, of course, that it's set up for firewalls correctly. That shouldn't have to be changed unless your home network is set up EXTREMELY screwy, which undoubtedly it is not. So you would be fine, but please let us know how well it works out.
I plan on getting a SPA-3000 and using my 2002 for travel since it's so small. A wireless device, such as a PDA, would be even better. Maybe a wireless iPAQ for Christmas. . .
The quality will likely be rather variable, but it will certainly work ok. It's the same quality issue deal as with cell phones. The only issue is firewall traversion. You should set the SPA for a worst case firewall situation using STUN, even if you don't need it for your home network. If it works good like that at home then no setting changes on the road would be neccessary. If use of STUN creates problems on your network then you would have to disable it and then reenable it for travel. Normally STUN is used w/o probs.
Occasionally you might run into a network where even STUN doesn't work. It is doubtful a hotel network would be that way, but in that case the Sipura won't work. The only solution then would be a softphone which uses X-tunnels or a similar solution, or Skype. Your best solution would be to change hotels immediately and let us know here so we can avoid that hotel chain. Good luck!
