| you will need to provide more information...what are the "boxes," what VOIP carrier are you intending to use and have you opened an account and made payment arrangements, are you using regular phones into an ATA or softphones, etc. basics.

| Thanks. Sorry I ommited the obvious...
But - that is not my problem ( I have installed hundreds of VoIP ATAs). What I am asking is for someone who is familar with the different ADSL ISPs there - do they use PPPoE? Are there any issues with port blocking etc. |

Typically it's authenticated PPPoA. You need the ADSL account's userID and password if you use the ATA directly behind the DSL modem. If it fails: Put a router in between that you know works and retry....
With T-DSL all ports are open (it's being resold in many falvours, e.g. 1und1, gmx, etc.).

| T-dsl uses pppoe. Pppoa has the advantage of less overhead since there is no need to packetize to reach atm since you go directly onto atm. Therefore one gets higher speeds.
Nota bene to others: t-dsl is the brand name of adsl supplied by deutsche telekom in germany. You won't see that name elsewhere.

Thanks
in the setup on the VoIP box
there are 3 lines for the internet account
user name
password
service ID
Here in Israel we leave the service ID empty. Do we do the same in Germany?? |

is it true that in Germany the user name is like this 1117978177425200145111310001@t-online.de
A thirty digit number before the @ sign??? |

Since such a number is recalled when you reconnect from your computer, its length is no hassle.

Miami Beach, FL | I'm confused about what your setup is. As I said, logon to adsl is through the modem, not an ata or a router.

| now i am confused according to what you say you can't use a router in Germany or are all modems there used as routers. How do you get an IP address for each device if you only use a modem which is usually set up as a bridge like it is in Israel.
My question is how do devices get IP address through DHCP in Germany |
