Can Asterisk be proxied to Vonage WAS[RE: [wplug]RecommendedVOIPService]

I online chatted with James Moore at Speakeasy.

Their VoIP service is $24/month vs about $9 per month for many.  I was ready 
to sign up anyway since they could use my existing phone number, but in 
addition, you have to pay $55 for their DSL service.  They won't run it on 
my existing DSL service.

I will keep looking.
