I’ve been using a Lynksys PAP2T-NA ATA off and on for at least a few months now. I get my VoIP service from Les.net and I’m pretty happy with it. Les has been making some improvements even over the short time I’ve been using the service and just today the servers started checking for some common device configuration problems on the customer side that cause network issues. Well, I was an offender. My problem was that the PAP2 was set up to send NAT Keep Alive messages every 15 seconds. I’m pretty sure this was the default setting out of the box, but apparently it’s overkill. The recommendation was to set the time up to between 60 seconds and 120 seconds. I don’t think it was a major issue and it was easy for me to fix, so I thought I’d write down all the details of it.
