Given your question is regarding the Ooma VoIP device, the best and most knowledgeable venue to re-post your question would be the comp.dcom.telecom group. Note that's been a moderated group since 1981 so it may be a day or so before your re-posting would appear in the group. It would be extremely useful to also mention the following URL in your re-post so that those unfamiliar with the SBG6580 can see its capabilities: http://www.arrisi.com/modems/datasheet/SBG6580/SBG6580_UserGuide.pdf Also, if your computer is a Windows system and connected to the SBG6580 via USB, mention that since most people will assume a UNIX, Linux or Mac computer connection via Ethernet per page 4 of the SBG6580 User Guide just in case it makes a difference.
