Hello Tritch,

Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I agree with you that the TOS should be updated to address the home phone issue. You know, it's funny, when I was first researching VOIP providers, I did like the Linksys PapT and the SPA-2102 adapters the best. However, those few providers charged around $15.00 a month for their minimum plans and did not offer the pre-paid option. That is substantially more than Voipo. So, Voipo was the winner. With that being said, it appears that the BYOD option that you mentioned is probably the best bet for me. My only concern is encountering problems finding the proper settings for the adapter. Which Linksys adapter are you using and how did you go about finding the settings for it?

To the other poster, thanks for your reply as well. However, I would hope that a Comcast Tech would know what they were doing before hooking up their modem to my home wiring. Also, I live in Connecticut and we have not had a thunderstorm since about late September. So, I'm not convinced it was a lightning strike that caused the port to burn out. I do not have the phone line hooked to a surge suppressor, but that is something I'll look into to hopefully prevent another burn out of the port.

Thanks,

Chris
