Outgoing Calls dropped at 32 seconds on Verizon DSL

FarmerMike, I re-read your first post, and I see that this happens with a softphone also, and now you mention that it happens with Vonage. So it looks like is is not a problem with the PAP2, nor is it unique to VOIPo. Since this does not happen with all Actiontec modem/routers, you may be right that this has something to do with the special firmware loaded by Verizon. What we don't know is whether the problem is built in to the router functions or the modem functions of the Actiontec. In either case, loading the default firmware may well give you an answer. Keep us posted.

The Vonage report I copied was form their forums, it was not me he was responding to, but the same issue.

I should have both my backup VZ actiontec and a Westell 6100 (from ebay) here in a few days, then we can resolve this. Sometime in the evening/night when I have some free time and family internet use is minimal I will try re-configuring the Actiontec to see if I can get it to work as a mostly transparent bridge with the VZ firmware (no nat, no dhcp).
