I used to use google voice. Sometimes Skype. Do I just leave those on?

those arent SIP. those are what i'd call the baby versions of VOIP.


they will however use the internet and keep your connection going, but at the same time they require a PC left on too (which i thought you said solved the problem anyway)

I think he's talking more like vonage or oomla, use with real phone

Didn't get to read the new posts till now. I see, Never used those before, Im not too sure how those work or how I would set them up to keep my Internet alive tho. That's be cool if I don't have to keep a computer turned on 24/7! Thanks guys.

I just thought of this....do you have an old router? Maybe plugging that into a port will keep it alive. And if you want to get adventurous, set it up as a different lan.

interesting idea, will try that first and see what happens.

Maybe your ISP thinks you are pirating copywrited material. Mine did because I use Usenet to get the latest TV shows when they air.
