I think I'm in the minority here, but I don't like mine.

I signed up for VOIPo a few days ago and I was sent a RT31P2. I was expecting a PAP2-T.

I have a wireless Linksys router, so I put the RT31P2 underneath it, as they're designed to stack upon each other.

After a few hours of use, I thought I got a whiff of some kind of hot plastic smell.

I separated the RT31P2 from my wireless router. I felt the top of my wireless router, and it was a little warm. I felt the top of the RT31P2, and it was MUCH warmer, almost hot. I would worry about the electronics inside degrading with that much continuous heat.

I don't want to reverse their positions and put the RT31P2 on top of my wireless router, as it would partially block its antennas.

What I don't like about my RT31P2 is:
1. It runs very warm/hot.
2. It's much larger than a PAP2-T. The PAP2-T form factor would work much better for my cramped space.
3. It uses more energy to run than a PAP2-T. I hooked up my Kill-A-Watt device to the RT31P2, and it idles at 7 watts and operates at 8 watts. From what I found on the Internet, the PAP2-T only uses 5 watts. (My old voip company's device, a Grandstream 286 only used 1 watt!)
4. It has a big honkin', heavy AC adapter. I'm not sure how big the adapter is on the PAP2-T, but I'd be very surprised if it were anywhere near this size.

Can I get a PAP2-T sent to me instead? I think I'd be much happier with one of those instead of my RT31P2. Please let me know, Tim. Thanks.
