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

[rl_jeffries]

Thanks all. The speakeasy option is one that I honestly forgot about. I've
nothing but great things about them, and I will definitely keep this in mind
for the future. The client's already locked into a DSL commitment for a
year, but after that, we may go with this. The voip provision is cool. Looks
like all the broadband providers are going this route. Glad to see that
speakeasy's rates are in the same ball park.

Thanks
Rob

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.
