Hey Everyone,
We have around 20 VOIP phones in our office, and sometimes when everyone is busy, calls seem to get a metallic noise to them.
I contacted the phone company (8x8) and they said that some ports should be opened in the router to help with this problem.

In THIS thread, I stated that my Mother is a bookkeeper moving business out of the
