haven't tried it out yet, but it sounds easy enough.

I have Vonage, and I LOVE it!! I don't have any complaints, works like a charm. I love the functionality, the web interfaces, the notifications, etc...
I also have it wired throughout my house, and grendel, you are right in your explanation of how to get it active on all your phones....I have done it.
Simply go out to the telephone box on the side of your house and disconnect the telephone wire that goes into your house. WARNING: Do not try to connect the Vonage router directly into the phone jack if you have not disconnected the outside phoneline. The power that goes through the outside phone line WILL fry your router (I have first hand experience). So, you disconnect the outside phone line which kills the power running from the phone company through your in-house telephone wires, then simply plug in the Vonage box directly to the wall telephone plug and VOILA!!...you have activated all the phones in your house.
Enjoy...it's a great service and saves you a BUNDLE!!
