Hi Mike,

Thanks for the details. I see that I get everything I want in one box. I 
wish the Spectrum person had made the same suggestion. He just said "get 
any DOCSIS box", which wasn't terribly helpful.

does the WAN port on your Sagecom get a public IP? (ie the TM1602A is 
acting as a modem only and not as a router)

that's what I'd like.

Most people are getting their phone via an ATA and are happier doing it 
that way; ie they're getting their phone from a different provider than 
the internet.
