Our livebox2 repeatedly used to lose the VoIP service (somewhat annoying as we don't have a 'physical' pots line, just ADSL signal on the copper pair)
however there's now a subtle hint on the config pages NOT to change the DNS servers from the automatic setting (we used to use opendns for content filtering)
So, anyone know what hard-coded voodoo sagem/orange were up to?

VoIP en France
We've moved to France, with all the normal hassle over paperwork, etc. Done the signups for utilities, then had to choose a phone company.
France has the rough equivalent of a LLU line 'degroupe' [no I haven't got punctuation dorted yet] see Wikipedia. and many of the ADSL modem/router/wotsits include an ATA in them.
So - at home we went with Orange, cos like the incumbent should be fairly reliable right.... ha!. If the VOIP line dies (we don't have a 'real' POTS line) then you have to do a factory reset of the livebox2, re-add in all the login details and any other customisations, and wait.
Oh, and they don't publish the SIP info for the ATA, so I can't even use a hardware voip phone for those times when internet up but the livebox voip service is down.
I've gone with (hopefully - still waiting for the confirmation) free.fr for the flat. lets see if they're any better...

SPA3102 and Swisscom
I've had a Linksys (nee sipura) spa3102 for a while (worked fine in the UK with sipgate) but havent got round to configuring it for switzerland yet.
Idiots guide seeing as I had trouble finding this on the net:
1) factory reset: ****, 73738#, 1#, hangup
2) make sure you have a computer in the NAT socket ('Ethernet') - I use mine bridged or into a main switch
3) http://192.168.0.1 and reset Router > WAN Setup > Enable WAN Web Server > YES
4) Router > LAN Setup > Networking Service > BRIDGE
http://www.3amsystems.com/wireline/daa-search.htm?country=Switzerland helps a little
as does http://switzernet.com/public/070723-config_UA/spa-3102.php
Things I've changed are
Voice > Regional > TimeZone > "GMT +1"
Voice > Regional > FXS Port Impedance > "270+750||150nF"
Voice > Regional > Caller ID Method > ETSI FSK
Voice > Line 1 > Dialplan > (<#:>xx.<:@gw1>|xx.<:@gw0>)
This dialplan is because I wish to use swisscom pstn most of the time, but prefix with # if I want the call to go over the VOIP service
