Re: Confused: What do I need to connect my VoIP router?

Thank you very much, hwittenb, your information was indeed very helpful.

One more question related to acronyms:

What is an 'ATA' and what is the meaning of 'DID', as in 'VoIP DID'?

Thank you.

Re: Confused: What do I need to connect my VoIP router?

An ATA is an acronym for an analog terminal adapter. A device that allow you to attach a plain analog telephone unit to a digital voip device that can communicate with a voip's server. A Linksys PAP2 is an ata.

I believe DID technically means direct inward dial. It refers to an incoming telephone number that is received by a voip provider and associated with your account. I've read that in some countries they refer to a DID as a DDI.
