[Asterisk-Users] Vonage ATA 186 Factory Default & use with Asterisk ?

[Dan]

Hi,

Have someone tried to use the same trick with the PCPhone application (soft
SIP phone) from iConectHere which can fully support Actiontec's Iinternet
Phone Wizard USB phone interface?
I have tried without any success.

Thanks,
Dan
