[AccessD] Vonage

I have a cable connection to the internet so I doubt I'll have issues.  Plus
the modem they now use has something in it that, if you place the modem
between the cable modem and the router, allows the phone router to take all
the bandwidth it needs to maintain the QOS (as they call it).

I used it and liked it (when it worked), but ultimately had to cancel the
service because Vonage couldn't maintain a connection to the phone router on
my network due to some latency and speed problems with my DSL connection. I
was on the lower end of the acceptable speed needed for Vonage. That said,
it would have saved me at least 40/month on my business phone fax charges,
since Vonage doesn't charge (yet) all of the federal, state and local taxes
that appear on my phone bill. When I did have a connection, voice quality
was pretty good.

Try it, but don't cancel your regular phone service until you're sure that
it works OK! Good Luck!
