A number of people in the VOIP user community have deployed this device already, some have even documented their efforts. Such prior art will no doubt help me get mine working also. Here are their notes: The VOIP wiki: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Setup+MV-370+GSM+Gateway+with+Asterisk…
Two weeks ago my wife told me that the small snom m3 handsets are not working as well as they should. To be specific, when she’s in the front bedroom the call quality is not good. I was out of town at the time but eventually got around to looking into the matter.
It’s is a simple matter of signal propogation. That bedroom location is the furthest possible point from the base radio, which was in my office.
Over at TMC they've blogged an accurate and concise yet biting overview of the problems of the telecom industry. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. When will they get a clue. Deregulation was such a farce. OTOH, this…

In high school I had been a disk jockey, both at school dances and on a local community cable access channel. Musical reproduction (a.k.a “stereo stuff”) had been very important to me at that age even though I didn’t have the funds to pursue the interest in any depth.
I went on to study music, and eventually recording and live sound reinforcement. I have engineered studio sessions and live performances. However, as I wound my way through my twenties home audio was not a subject of much interest. My career path drifted from the purely musical to into broadcast video production.
Jared Valentine has posted an interesting description of a system he developed for automatically manipulating QoS & bandwidth allocation to support the use of VOIP over his DSL service. He calls this “Application Aware Triggered QoS.”
He described his initial problem as being trouble with inbound bandwidth management. This is something that I’ve never experienced myself. My trouble was always related to limited outbound bandwidth.
