That's what we're trying to do... we have Vonage right now, our security
system and Fax are running through it right now, and we're trying to get
away from them.

We don't nessecarily have to use SIP...  Workarounds are fun if we can
find information on how to implement them.  We just don't want to have
to pay for any more services than the SIP provider that we're already
using, or on of comparable price/value...

>But Vonage isn't VoIP anyway.  It's just a VoIP gateway to the PSTN.

Which is what we're trying to set up.  We just don't want to use Vonage,
we want more control over our service.
