first download something called noip\n\nfrom www.no-ip.com and you can set up your own domain (assigned by them!)\n\nthen download tightvnc, and access it from tightvnc.\n\njust open your pc (the one you want to access from) and go to ie explorer and type in yournoipdomain:5800\n\nthen you can remote control

The best way is to setup the DataBox to the Demarcation where Bell used to be, then it will make all your existing jacks work with the VoIP.  It is pretty kewl eh?  Bell has to whip something up fast to be able to combat what VoIP is doing now.\n\nHogan

VOIP uses the protocol UDP, user datagram protocol to send and recieve datagram packets. i recomend getting on google and research into this protocol, its tricky as there less way's of catching errors. You'll need to get your app to connect through tcp/ip and then set up a connection using udp. hope that helps\n\nR3dm0

You may want to do it the other way around.  I would install the VoIP router first and then the wireless router.  Most VoIP routers have QoS, although not the best, built into them.  This will give priority to the VoIP call, which you want.

Just call your phone service provider, they can set you up.  Its really simple.

You would need to use a VPN.\nVirtual Prinate Network\nIf you have seen the advertising for GoToMyPC.com, that is what they are doing, for a fee.\nDo an internet search for VPN, it should give you many options.

call vonage & ask them if they can do it for a biz and/ or who else sells this service.  Also ask them if there is another name for this service and then look it up on the computer.  I'm sure you can call all the phone companies, explain it and ask them for the type of service.

you have to use some software which other party must have to listen to your voice. as other frnd has suggested skype... i would recommand yahoo messanger which will allow you to leave offline voice message. cheers

A google search will reveal many third party applications for VOip that integrates to phone systems.\n\nVoIPBuster is a free program that provides free calling from PC - PC and free calls to the US ( Landline & Mobile ) telephones. It's not the best program for VoIP but it's not bad and its mostly free.\n\nhttp://www.voipbuster.com\n*This page has the rates for other countries*\nhttp://www.voipbuster.com/en/rates.html\n\nAnd if your life is Unfullfilling you could try and set up a Asterisk Server for administering VOip calls manually. I beleave they have it for a Windows as well as Linux platform.

There are tons of software options - google is your friend there.  Mainly depends on what you have at each site.  For instance, Windows servers all have some sort of software VPN capabilities.\n\nHowever, you can get firewall/routers with VPN endpoint capabilities pretty inexpensively these days.  As an example, the Symantec appliances are simple to use and relatively cheap.  (http://www.symantec.com/small_business/products/security_appliances/sgs300/index.html)  DLink, Linksys and Netgear all have stuff cheaper in the "soho" space as well.  Or spend more and go for Cisco if you have the needs and skills.

VoIP will normally use ports 5060 and 5082 (I think), so they can block them or lower the bandwith on these ports.\nThey can also add latency or jitter.\nBlocked ports can be easily passed by, e.g. with QTelNet

Honestly, you wont' find anyone (myself included) who understands VOIP on here that will just give you the answers for free. Additionally, there are huge drawbacks to VOIP that you may want to consider\n\nVoIP technology still has a few shortcomings that have led some to believe that it is not ready for widespread deployment. However, many industry analysts predicted that 2005 was the "Year of Inflection," where more IP PBX ports shipped than legacy digital PBX ports.\n\nImplementation challenges\n\nBecause IP does not provide any mechanism to ensure that data packets are delivered in sequential order, or provide any Quality of Service guarantees, VoIP implementations may face problems dealing with latency (especially if satellite circuits are involved), and jitter. They are faced with the problem of restructuring streams of received IP packets, which can come in any order and have packets delayed or missing, to ensure that the ensuing audio stream maintains a proper time consistency. This functionality is usually accomplished by means of a jitter buffer. Another main challenge is routing VoIP traffic to traverse certain firewalls and NAT. Intermediary devices called Session Border Controllers (SBC) are often used to achieve this, though some proprietary systems such as Skype traverse firewall and NAT without a SBC by using users' computers as super node servers to route other people's calls. Other methods to traverse firewalls involve using protocols such as STUN or ICE.\n\nDSL Internet access\n\nVoIP technology does not necessarily require broadband Internet access, but this usually supports better quality of service. A sizable percentage of homes today are connected to the Internet through DSL, which requires a traditional phone line. Having to pay for VoIP in addition to both a basic phone line and broadband Internet access reduces the potential benefits of VoIP. However, some regional telephone companies now offer DSL service without the phone (often called "naked DSL"), thus saving you money when you switch to VoIP. VoIP can also be used with Cable Internet instead of DSL, eliminating the need to purchase two telephone lines.\n\nReliability\n\nConventional telephones are connected directly to telephone company phone lines, which in the event of a power failure are kept functioning by back-up generators or batteries located at the telephone exchange. However, household VoIP hardware uses broadband modems and other equipment powered by household electricity, which may be subject to outages. In order to use VoIP during a power outage, an uninterruptible power supply or a generator must be installed on the premises. Early adopters of VoIP may also be users of other phone equipment, such as PBX and cordless phone bases, that rely on power not provided by the telephone company.\n\nSome broadband connections may have less than desirable reliability. Where IP packets are lost or delayed at any point in the network between VoIP users, there will be a momentary drop-out of voice. This is more noticeable in highly congested networks and/or where there is long distances and/or interworking between end points. Technology has improved the reliability and voice quality over time and will continue to improve VoIP performance as time goes on.\n\nEmergency calls - 911 calls\n\nThe nature of IP makes it difficult to geographically locate network users. Emergency calls, therefore, cannot easily be routed to a nearby call center, and are impossible on some VoIP systems. Moreover, in the event that the caller is unable to give an address, emergency services may be unable to locate them in any other way. Following the lead of mobile phone operators , several VoIP carriers are already implementing a technical work-around. The United States government had set a deadline, requiring VoIP carriers to implement E911, however, the deadline is being appealed by several of the leading VoIP companies.\n\nThis is a differe

To my knowledge, all of this is proprietary and supplied by the VOIP. The hardware and software are supplied by the service provider.

There are a few cross-platform VoIP applications you can choose from.  Skype is very good, but also give Gizmo a try.  It's a free application that's gaining opularity with both Mac and Windows users.\n\nGizmo:  http://www.gizmoproject.com/\nSkype:  http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/
