you can't with the ORHH (now called "ISDN Home" by the way as from 1st Jan, prices are a fraction cheaper now too) you take what telstra offers or you don't. > Furthermore, DoV is a pure hack.

Checking with your ISP isn't a bad idea as to wether > their hardware can recieve DoV calls. it's compulsory to check with your ISP - they'll have to adjust their access server config for you, or else give you a different number to dial in to. Also once you get going, get your ISP to confirm for you that you are connecting as DoV (otherwise expect a nice hefty telstra bill if it turns out it's been a timed connection). > Also, do NOT count on your calls being connected fulltime. Telstra > dumps OnRamp HH calls after 24 hours connected. that seems to vary from area to area. I know people who stay connected for 2-4 weeks. On the occasions when dingoblue stuff up their 12-hour kickoff thing I've been connected over 24 hrs (28 hrs and around 36 hrs one time).
