[ILUG] Help needed with VOIP & Digital Phone

[Alan Ryan]

Hi Conor,

I have that e51 also, I had so much trouble with it regarding connecting to
WEP encrypted LANs that I gave up on it.  I handed it back 4 times and they
kept giving me another broken e51 - I upgraded firmware, trawled the web -
tried everything and finally demanded they pay for an e270 as the e51
wouldn't work (with  WEP)  - and now I'm  "condemned to mobile broadband for
use at home" -

I hadn't thought about setting it up the way you are using it - I take it
you are configuring the SIP settings to connect to your blueface account?  I
might try this route before I go an buy a digital phone to test this.

Thanks for the tip.

Alan
