What firmware version are you using, Alan..? Also do you have the regional
settings set to UK..? The latest firmware is 06.03.62 which I downloaded
and installed on my Fritz!Box today.

It works fine here with Sipgate, as I said the only gripe I have is the
dial tone and ringing tones generated by the unit are non-standard and
until I get used to them (or figure out how to change them) will continue
to confuse me..!

If you want to compare notes, feel free to email me off the group, let me
know your number if you want to chat.
