Hacking the BT homehub!
http://www.homehubhacks.co.uk/index.php?n=HowTo.Index

Using the Howtos from that site I was able to get the VOIP working on the homehub without using it as my primary router AND using sipgate instead of btbroadband talk.

One thing It doesn't show up as in my routers DHCP list as a client but rather is accessible via http://192.168.1.254

So Is it safe to assume that would be the "from" address any VOIP packets would come from? (i want to prioritize the packets on the upstream using the QOS on my voyager so it works reliably)

I'd assume by changing the hack slightly it would be possible to use any sip provider so before I go putting credit on my sipgate account is there anyone I should consider instead?

I'm actually on bt broadband anyway but the land line is in the home-owners name and BT were unable to bill the VOIP calls to a separate account so I never bothered setting up the BBTALK account.

Don't like the HH very much its not as stable as my 2110 at least with these hacks in place its no longer just sitting in a box doing nothing and i've just saved myself buying a SIP gateway/phone
