After I switched from AT&T hardline phone (PSTN) to iTalkBB Internet phone (VOIP) service, my same voice phone works just fine while my same fax machine does not. My Internet Service Provider (ISP) is Road Runner – a Time Warner Cable division. They give me a Motorola cable modem with one Ethernet port (RJ45) which I used for my D-Link router. All my two computers and two VOIP boxes, one for phone and one for fax with different phone number, are behind the router.

According to my VOIP provider’s advice, I’ve tried to slow down transmission speed (on fax machine) from the default 33.6 (mbps) to 9600 baud and turned off ECM. So far I can send out faxes to some numbers but not all numbers, and could not receive any fax including the very fax machine that received my fax.

My VOIP provider then suggested me to hook up the VOIP box directly to the cable modem so it has its own internet connection. I tried that by taking off the router from the cable modem and just plug in the fax VOIP box to the cable modem. It dose not work – did not even get the dial tong – either with regular patch cable or a crossover cable. Time Warner Cable told me that they do have two port cable modem but only give to me when I subscript to their digital phone (VOIP). However, their price is 8 times higher than iTalkBB ( vs per month). I tried to find a cable modem with more than one Ethernet port. I could not find any in three major electronic stores as Best Buy, Circuit City, and Micro Center.

I am now thinking to roll back my fax line to AT&T for a basic plan cost +tax= per month. That way I will be sure it works – it’s a hardline.

Somebody on Iinternet advised me to wait for the undergoing Fax Over Internet Protocol (FOIP). But I don’t know where this baby is – if any. On the other side of the story, somebody on Internet stated that he switched to VOIP, and his fax machine works flawlessly ever since for a year so far. My line condition is no comparison to his, but I did make some improvement – half way so far.

Is there anybody has a clue or suggestions please help me out. Many thanks!

I live in San Francisco and I’m wondering if anyone knows when electronic stores such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Walmart, Fry’s, and any others will re-stock in Nintendo Wii? Does anyone know where I could possibly find out these kinds of information online? Thanks!

I’m looking to purchase a Nintendo Wii from an electronic store (Gamestop, Best buy, circuit city, walmart, and etc.). Which stores have these systems in stock for 0 and how often do they receive new shipments? Are there any coupons online for any of these stores that apply for the Wii? Thanks!

I need a long AV Component cable to go through the ceiling and hook into my projector so I can get 720p resolution on my PS3, and better sound quality. The common electronic store (best buy, circuit city, etc.) only sell 6 and 10 ft AV Component Cables. I checked eBay and didn’t find anything. Does anyone know where I can find a 20+ foot cable?

Thanks

Okay, here's my problem:

I just purchased a Samsung 37" LCD TV. I live in an apartment complex that uses a media company to supply video. The media company pipes in DirecTV to all of the units via coax cable. The signal is quite compressed and we have no box or receiver in our apartments to convert the signal, nor do they offer one. I called the media company and they told me that they don't have the receivers for our complex. I called DirecTV and they wouldn't sell me a receiver to use. Everyone I call refers me to someone else and I'm going in circles. Opening my own DirecTV won't work b/c my complex won't allow it. I've been to Best Buy and Circuit City and no one seems to know the answer. My pictures are quite grainy and I'm frustrated. There must be a electronic box of some sort that will take the compressed signal and convert it to the full signal. Can I buy a DirecTV box? Will it have to be activated? Please help!

Well..I waited 12 hrs FIRST IN LINE (3:00pm Thanksgiving day- to open 5am) in line at Circuit City for the 42" Sharp lcd. I was very unpleased with their service 1.) they didnt have reserve tickets for the TV's, just the laptops. 2) there customer service was very awful. Best Buy was across the street giving out hot coco & had a tv out for ppl to watch.. I was very disappoint when I realized I would have to run for my tv (first come first serve) even though I knew I would get one because I was first HOWEVER it changed when I ran to the electronic desks the kids working there were playing around when I am seriously trying to make a purchase giving me the run around when the item is limited and other ppl that didnt wait that 12hrs like did had the possibility of getting my TV!..SO I TOOK liberties in my own hand and grabbed their display box (NEW & SEALED)..they didnt have any flat karts so i dragged it to check out..luckly in line I made friends and we helped each other by getting items
