Re: Thanks!
Yes--one of the first things I did after installing the device was to ensure my DHCP server would issue the VOIP IP address to the MAC address of the device Voipo sent me. The firewall ports we're talking about are open only for this IP address.
Okay, based on three phone conversations today, the port work may have helped latency a bit. I also had one call where I had to dial twice to get a connection; the first time I got a long delay and then a busy signal on a line that has phone company voice mail.
The sound quality (on this relatively limited test) did seem to get somewhat better--no garbled or "gritty" moments, at least on these three calls. Two of the calls were fairly long ones.
Perhaps the device really does need to be outside of the firewall (or I need to turn off stateful inspection) in order to produce less latency.
When I sent the payment directly from PayPal it was credited promptly.
Thanks for your advice, Tim.
