[OT] Vonage and VOIP

[jack at coats.org (Jack Coats)]

I have been thinking of getting some service like vonage, and a Dock-N-Talk
from PhoneLabs for my cell, and having remote phones in my house that can
handle two lines.  It seems like it should work.

Is the number of ringers the problem?  We have quite a few phones at home
(that I plan on hooking up to a Sipura VoIP adaptor), but we have the
ringers off on all but two (the two that have "real" ringers with bells and
everything!).

I could imagine that the Sipura might get unhappy if many extensions went
off hook at once, but that isn't a likely in our case.
