For now I have put a tag on my phone to not answer on the first ring. The problem is that if I answer on first ring coming in from either line 1 or line 2 the connection is not made and the calling phone continues to ring. I have tried it several times with the same results. 2nd ring, things seem to work OK.
My first thought is that possibly GV does not transfer the call quickly enough to answer on the first ring. Is that the case, or is something else causing this and I just need to live with it?
Also, I shut down all my computer equipment every night to save energy, but also to get a new IP for security reasons. So far Obi has not had a problem with this but I wonder if there is any long term problem with this habit. I did leave just Obi up the first night and one light blinked constantly apparently hunting for a connection so I started shutting it down with the other equipment. Leaving Obi powered up is not a problem if it causes it no problem to be continually searching for a signal. But leaving the modem on 24/7 is not an option. I have two sources for emergency calling, a phone on my DSL and cell phone.
