Is anyone using Vonage on the same highspeed network as thier IRLP node?
I have heard that neither uses much bandwidth, but i want to get some opinions on this.
I am getting ready to switch from dialup to cable internet and from standard telephone to Vonage. Thats 2 major steps and i want to be sure i am not about to screw up royally.
Thanks!

VK3JED is running his IRLP node on the same Cable Internet as his VoIP phone. It isn't vonage, it's broadvoice I believe (i may be wrong), but everything is working just fine on his end.
There would be no reason for it not work, except for latency, which ofcourse will happen when you max out your bandwidth. IRLP requires 32kbps to run efficiently, so you should have no problem at all.
Running IRLP Node 3072 here myself, it will be put from DSL onto cable internet with vonage in about 2 months.

Vonage & echolink
I also have Vonage but I can't get echolink to work to save my life. The d@mn*d thing just won't connect to a node. qrzmoderator I've followed the instructions to set up ZoneAlarm properly, but still no connectivity (except to the server that tells me who's online). I suspect my router or perhaps the Vonage adapter but I don't see why they would cause any trouble.
Any ideas?

Check the PPPoE settings on your router.

Re: Vonage & echolink
If your router is set for automatic DHCP then you need to configure port forwarding on the router. Echolink needs a stable, static IP number. Read the echolink instructions and your router instructions for how to do this. IF you have problems feel free to contact me off line or by telephone and i can walk you through it.. If you get it you can check into the net tomorrow night!!!n0xmz wrote:I also have Vonage but I can't get echolink to work to save my life.
