Re: Alot of players in this field
I really, really dislike the idea of a box that MUST be directly connected to a modem. What if you are in some sort of shared living situation and your only access point is behind a router? What if you want to take your box to work and plug it into the network connection at your desk? What if you want two or more VoIP lines, perhaps from competing VoIP providers (so you have redundancy if one goes down)? I can probably think of a couple dozen reasons why a requirement that the VoIP device be connected directly to the modem is a very bad thing. It would be as if hard drive manufacturers all required that their hard drives be the first device on the first IDE cable in any computer - that would be okay until you wanted to add a second hard drive, then you would curse whoever came up with that scheme.
Of course, I'm not sure why anyone would want CallVantage anyway, when it is nearly the most expensive VoIP provider out there. If it's features you want, VoicePulse has them at a much lower monthly rate, and there are quite a few other companies that also offer a better deal than CallVantage on the monthly rate. |
