I have decided on the Draytek V 2820 the only question i have now is does it support two phone lines? can i receive two phone calls at once?

Yes. But only one of which can be a pstn call.

oh that no good then :(

So you want two pstn incoming? Don't think you'll find anything like that in an all in one device.

Although maybe the Uniden DSS7960 in the system can work. It allows 2 incoming lines so you could have one thru the Draytek FXO and the other coming from the 2nd pstn line, which I assume would be going to WAN 2 on the Draytek. (Edit: well I mean to a modem and then WAN2)

Do I have that right?

if you buy a Panasonic Cordless phone www.panasonic.com.au/pro...fm?objectID=3581

you able to have 2 lines coming into 1 handset... now i am looking ata where i will be able to have nodephone be able ring in on line 1 and for me to pick it up... then if another person rings the other handsets ring on line 2...

Then that's not two incoming pstn calls :) Yes the Draytek will do what you want.

mine receives incoming pstn calls, after which it is unable to dial out via Nodephone. Must be some setting somewhere, or is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Upgrade firmware to v3.2.1RC2 and use voip port 2. See if that's any better.

Done all that. It's intermittent. Got the techs coming round Monday to check the phone line. snr is 9 and line attn is 44, so not good!

looking at the picture it has line port and phone 1/2 port...

How do you get 2 lines on 1 port????

They supply a "double-adaptor" into which you plug your two phones. Think it's got some smarts in it, so it's not a normal double-adaptor.
I have 2 handsets plugged in, and you can make calls on both at the same time.
Both are connected to an outgoing VOIP service (2 accounts), but both ring when an incoming call is received on my PSTN line (T$ budget HL). Haven't tried ringing in on my VOIP DID to see what happens, but I'm guessing that handset 1 will ring, because that's where I assigned that VOIP account.

cool, is it possible to test to see if you receive an incoming call on your voip DID it will ring handset 1 and while on that call if someone else ring the DID it will ring on handset 2? that what i need.. cause i am making nodephone 2 the business number

I can't see that working if you're talking about the same DID because it would be engaged. But I'm prepared to be corrected. See that would be where something like MNF has a two line option, same price I think but you can have two seperate lines for just that requirement. Cheaper than that horrendously overpriced Nodephone too.

I will test it tonight when I get home.
I know if someone rings the PSTN, the other phone will ring.
Even if what you describe doesn't work, with MyNetFone I can set up a call-forward option if the line is busy, so it should be possible one way or another.

Did a few tests tonight.
When someone dials my PSTN number, both handsets ring, and I can pick up the call on either. When someone dials my PSTN while I am on a call, the second handset doesn't ring, but I hear the call waiting stuff on my first handset and I can flash/hook to take the call.
I can call out using VOIP on the second phone while the PSTN is in use.

When someone dials my VOIP DID, only handset 1 rings - because that is how I have configured it in the router. If someone else rings that DID while the line is busy, it triggers the call forwarding set up in my MNF account (and my mobile rings). I can dial out using my second handset and VOIP number (not DID) while handset one is on a VOIP call.
It is possible with MNF, though, to turn on call waiting on the DID number. Then I would be able to hook/flash and take the call - but I would not be able to take the call on the 2nd handset - same scenario as with PSTN above.

Only way to do that is to get a 2nd DID and point call forwarding on busy to that number. Not sure if you can config the soft phone number as your call forward destination. If you could, that would save you the cost of a second DID.

hmmm interesting.... so the only way to do it..

is get a nodephone 2 account and nodephone 1 account... make everyone call NP2 and if busy call NP1 then if no answer divert to messagebank...
