Just an update on what I'm trying here (without any reliability test
here yet). I plugged in just the voip MTA all by itself and it seems to
work (ADSL -> router -> MTA). I put a laptop in to the MTA and got a
terribly slow internet connection on the laptop (probably due to a high
QoS setting on the MTA).

When I plugged in my wireless router, everything went pear-shaped with
voip, so this is obviously using more bandwidth, or whatever the MTA
needs. So, instead of just promoting the MTA, I'm limiting the wireless
router through QoS. I'll report back if this resolves (wishful
thinking).

Thanks for all the help offered. Just shows how clueless I am in this
area :->
