[ale] Vonage alternatives...

[Christopher Fowler]

Why does the vonage box need to be outside instead of inside?  I have
packet8 and it is inside.  We've used the Linksys vonage box on the
inside as well.

I will add that my firewall is Linux and when we used the Linksys the
firewall was a Linksys 802.11G router.
