Yep looks the same to me.
Finally got mine from Sipgate, works ok but seems to have a very limited
range, very poor signal in areas of the house where the laptop works fine.
Incidentally, anyone know if it's possible to use it in a public
hotspot..? Tried a few times locally and while I can get a signal the SIP
account won't register.
Still, a useful device for the money and interesting to play with. ISTR
someone mentioning firmware that adds DECT capability, any info on that as
I would find that useful.

Ahem! Please sir, please sir, here sir!
See my contribution dated 10/5 in the DP-L10 thread. Please try to keep up
at the back there!
Mr Voiptalker is the gent you need to speak to about firmware, Ivor.
Saga of the Pirelli continues. Let me know if you've all had enough yet,
and I'll apologise for it just before any subsequent instalment. :-))

Yes, I mentioned poor range in an earlier thread as one of the
limitations, in my view.

Yes, it CAN work in hotspots - as long as they aren't blocking certain
ports. I tried to use mine on the coaches that offer wifi connections
and got the same results as you - the wifi registers, but not the SIP.
Of course, if nothing is being blocked, then it works :)

Yes, I'll try to get a webpage together with full instructions on how
to add in landline capability to covert it from "dual" to "tri".
Basically the device you need to add is a Sinus TC300 base station.
see: http://wiki.ip-phone-forum.de/gatewa...?s=sinus%20300
BEWARE: There are 2 versions of this - an analogue version and an
ISDN version.

Doesn't want to know in the local Starbucks (T-Mobile) or another one
nearby "The Cloud". It'll be interesting to see if it works in Phoenix
Airport in Arizona next time I'm there, they are the only airport I know
with blanket free wi-fi coverage. Wish a few more would do that instead of
ripping us off with silly prices, paid about £7 for just over an hour at
Heathrow last year grumble moan.

Ok thanks. I was hoping to be able to use it with my existing DECT base,
are you saying it will only work with the Sinus one..?

That's right AFAIK. The Sinus is a wifi base with WPA encryption.
Thus the phone needs a wifi profile to be configured to access the
Sinus. The TC300s (dual phones, not the bases) sold here in Spain come
with one profile already configured, though you have to further
configure them by putting in the base's WPA code. In fact, up to 5
Dual Phones can be configured to the Sinus.
Give me a few days to organise a page on the subject, I'm a bit tied
up workwise at the mo'.

Don't know about KFC, but on National Coaches that offer free wifi,
there is no encyption - it's totally open. though as mentioned
previously some traffic (SIP at least) seems to be blocked.

Depends on the location. Most places (Starbucks etc) have pay wi-fi where
you have to log on and give your credit/debit card details before it will
let you do anything. I'm assuming that's why it won't let me use the
phone.
On the other hand some places (like Phoenix airport) are completely free,
but you still have to agree to the terms and conditions on a login page
first.
A pub in Maidstone has free Cloud WiFi.
My Senao happily obtained IP address, but no SIP registration.
Zyxel P2000W V2, could not get IP address from the DHCP ! God knows why -
enybody else have clue ?
Enquiry to the staff produced a card with user ID and password which has to
be input trough a browser :-(

Another thing to watch out for is "broken" routers, so sometimes it's
not deliberate that you can get "web" access, but not SIP access.
Some routers try to be "clever" and "know" about SIP, so negating the
need for a stun server, etc. unfortunately a log of them just don't work.
Zyxels in particular - with them you need to telnet into the router and
type a command to disable the SIP ALG (Application Layer Gateway). Same
for a few others - Juniper netscreens spring to mind.
Another reason to use IAX, if possible, but despite it being freely
avalable, source code an all, take-up is very slow )-:
