Broadvoice failure to register

I woke up this morning picked up the phone and realized that I had no dial-tone :( I think this is the second time this has happened. I am using VOIP provided by broadvoice. I wonder how long it has been off-line? It looks like I missed 2 phone calls.

I checked my net connection and everything was good. I could also log-in to my sipura and watch it fail to register every 15 seconds... I had this happen before, so I unplugged my VOIP adapter and plugged it back in, but it still would not register. (That is what fixed the problem last time...) I can hit my VOIP using ping and telnet'ed in to the port my sipura was supposed to be registering at.

I fired up the trusty packet sniffer and found my linksys router was dropping packets being sent to the sipura 2100 from the WAN... Although the through LAN everything was working like it should have. A quick reboot of my linksys wrt54g and I have dial-tone again!

It looks like I need to write an little application to monitor the sipura to email and page my cell phone when I lose connection, so I don't miss any phone calls.
