You're missing the point Paul. RACE aren't into making VoIP calls. They are into DSVD, they route the voice portion through an analog PBX , and dump the data on the LAN. But if VOCLF have a netphone you can run it over BeThere. You lose the PBX function - your voice becomes data and that gets dumped on the LAN. Unfortunately this takes up their data channel - so you lose the capability of multiplexing voice/data over BeThere. You've been given the job of researching H.323 at our place. So may be you will be able to fill me in on it (I really don't care to know more than I do already). If you go back, I left some links to some tutorial and primers. I only found out today that there is a spec for POTS/ISDN known as H.324. But it appears to be compatible with H.323. at least as far as voice compression. One more question Paul - I know you love the ITU stuff - do you have any links for DSVD 1.2?

Because that's just a net phone Paul. One must have a gateway at his location AND at the location he's trying to call for it to work and you're still faced with the inherent latency of the 'net, much of which is actually occurring at the ISPs themselves. Sometimes I wish I could just draw on my screen and record audio as a post. Oh well, perhaps in time. What Data Race is talking about is not a "net phone" but a technology that allows a far better transfer of combined voice+data between the home and the ISP and should allow the ISP to actually offer extra phone lines over the same connection that their customers are using for data. Can you understand the difference? Now back to latency. To see this you must first figure out what the IP address is of the modem you're connected to. Many dialers will tell you this if you poke into them, right now I'm on 38.193.48.207 I merely go to trace.nap.net , enter that address and get: trace.nap.net That's a fun little site because if you're having trouble getting into a site you can usually figure out where the problem is. Try: trace.nap.net You may also find these other resources interesting: stats.nap.net
