Net2phone over dialup |
|
|
Tried to use Net2phone over a dialup modem and the delay was very long
2 to 7 seconds this was cross town to a broadband modem. 56k modem
connects at anywhere from 31k to 40k but I know the unlink speed is
much less. Question is if I force the modem to connect at a lower speed
will I get more speed for the uplink ? And what should I try ? My guess
is 19,200 but I'am not sure. |

From what I've tried so far only Skype's quality did not come down
significantly over dial-up, and that is not guranteed, either. A lot
depends on the voice compression and the actual architecture you are
using: client-to-server for Net2phone (and other "traditional" VoIP
providers) and peer-to-peer for Skype.
I don't recall the actual bandwidth Net2Phone requires for their VoiceLine
service, but it is higher than that of a 56K modem.

Set the modem to computer baud rate to 115.2K, 230.4K, or higher.
Make sure your modem compression settings are turned on.
Shut off any encryption.
Shut off PPP (software compression) compression. (see
networking/type of dialup connection settings).
(The last two items add significant variability to the dial up
connection latency.) |
