Most problems can be traced to the DNS issues. Fongo changed server names recently, and added a new server, without announcing properly. There are 3 servers at the moment: sipnode1.fongo.com, sipnode2.fongo.com, and sipnode3.fongo.com. Old hostnames sip.fongo.com and voip.freephoneline.ca may not be resolved properly anymore by some ATAs. Select one of the sipnodes, and program it as your server. Or better yet, enter the IP address directly. This should solve most of the server registration issues.

What was/is it in particular that could be causing this problem on our end, and how is it going to change, if we don't change anything? There are a lot of people here who use their own SIP devices, especially using the FPL service. I for one have a PBX which I believe to be set up right, mainly because it has been working for a very long time; but if I am somehow responsible for causing some degrade in the system I'm not going to know as I think everything is fine my end.

It would be nice if Dave provided details of how or what makes an ATA improperly configured. However, I can say that a symptom that an ATA is not properly configured is when it NEEDS to re-register in less than 3600 seconds (1 hour). The servers at some point will be "flooded" if enough ATAs register at the 180 second interval (exaggerated for perspective).

***edit
Don't get me wrong here. I am not trying to put the blame on us customers. In fact, I insist that there is a problem with Fongo.
