I recently signed up for Vonage, and to capture the traffic of the box talking to the vonage server, I ran the connection through my notebook and ran ethereal. It required some futzing, but I got the routing working. Then it occured to me: I might be able to do the same when I have my notebook hooked up through my Sprint cellphone. I bet the quality will be crappy if it works at all, but it might be possible. Just perverse enough that I will have to try it. As for the 911 address to give, I haven't signed up. We will be traveling back and forth with this box, there is no telling where it might be at any moment. Question: anyone have a recommendation for a really little wired phone I could velcro to the Vonage Linksys box to make the package as portable as possible? There is a small phone available in various flavors that only works with a plugged in headset (not a handset), but I would like to find one with called ID. -kb
