[ale] Vonage alternatives...

[Nathan J. Underwood]

fwiw, I've had Vonage now for a few months and have been very pleased 
with it.  I had a problem similar to what you were describing about a 
week ago, but it ended up being the location of the 'Vonage Box' in my 
network (it really need to be 'outside', rather than 'inside'.  There 
have been a few hiccups, but I've got an alternate number listed (it 
goes to my cell if there's ever a problem), and I really like the price 
(phone service plus an 800 number for $30 per month).
