Peter, I have service from "Packet-8". I am very satisfied with it. I have Roadrunner High Speed Internet, so I don't know how the service will compare on your DSL line, but for voice, it should be comparable. As far as uptime, we've only had it go out one time and that was for just a few minutes. The cable company was doing some maintenance on their lines. We got to keep our landline number, and we still have 911 service, although the 911 service is now routed through a server that winds up at our local 911 response center. Previously, Viop customers didn't have 911 service per se. And what they did have wasn't very reliable. Our service is reliable. Anyway, that's my take on the subject. Check it out. It's a good service. Regards, Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter van Hoof" To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public."
