Thumbs up Yep, that's what I thought...

That's what I thought was the case but I needed to make sure.

I follow VoIP discussions on a couple of forums and have never noticed any comments about a VoIP provider singling anyone out for a TOS violation because of this, but that doesn't mean it hasn't or couldn't happen. Unless iiNet is really out to catch this kind of situation, I doubt anyone will notice or even care, but that's just my own personal opinion.

My guess is that iiNet is mostly concerned that you're not allowing someone else to make use of the VoIP service that you've subscribed to (such as setting up a second VoXaLot extension at another location in order to share your iiNet service with another party).

I guess it might be conceivable that iiNet could smote me for using Voxalot, but since the RTP path is between my ATA and them, I at least have a plausible excuse. That is, I can prove (by referring to the RTP path) that I've "used" their VoIP service at the same "physical location" as where they "supplied the broadband service".

Of course, if I were to use the Web Callback feature of Voxalot the RTP path would be completely different and then iiNet could hang me for high treason or some such.
