I have a replayTV 3030 which connects over the phone line. I am considering a move to VOIP phone service and giving up the land line, its cheaper and seems like the right direction technically. I have heard that the quality will not allow the ReplayTV to connect over the IP phone line.
My question is has anybody had any experience with AT&T CallVantage, SunRocket, or Vonage and replayTV? Did you need to lower the baud rate on the Replay? What bandwidth does your internet connection have?
I'm afraid I can't answer for those particular VOIP carriers, but I have tried several with my asterisk system as well as none (just asterisk). What I found out is that some of the early replay boxes had a noisy modem chip. This was also confirmed by PacBell who said it was screwing up my DSL line (before I went VOIP). I haven't tried my 5000 yet (no need to with the network connection).
If you have one with a noisy chip, that could be a problem.

The SunRocket VoIP is now installed and works well as a phone line. The land line is no more. But, I am not able to make the rtv3030 connect. It will dial, there is a modem exchange, but then it just fails. Do you know how I can find out if I have a "noisy chip"?
The VoIP gateway is a Telco Access 211. Getting good information on this device seems to be difficult, but it is advertised as supporting a fax machine.
