We use VoIP in one of our offices running over cable internet. 90% of the time, it’s great (and is very inexpensive, since we are already paying for the ISP circuit). The other 10%, it is choppy, warbled and completely drops out. This is frustrating to the
office workers, the callers and me (who hears from both).

<div class="">We are, eventually, going to upgrade to a synchronous service (MetroLAN or similar) and use the cable internet for it’s raw speed and the other service for the VoIP. Overall, while I use it, I am waiting for the day I can afford the better service
to carry it.</div>

Slow list, so .... I am interested in using voip to replace my AT&T phone line. I have Wowway internet, seems to work AOK. I would like to use it to place & receive calls from my in-house POTS phones. Feasible ? URL's ? Experience/gotcha's ? I was planning
on using a RPi running NetBSD & Asterisk, but I think there is a bit more info/setup required. I have googled up some info, but most of it is going over my head. The key detail is I want to use my existing in-house phones/jacks & have them operate in/out over
my cable-internet. *Any* help appreciated. TIA & have a good one.<br class="">
