Steve, I've been using Vonage for about a year and a half.  In that time I 
have lost phone a couple of times. Once from a power outage that affected 
the whole city for a few hours.  No big deal. Once they had a problem but 
it didnt last more than an hour or so.  Again, no big deal.  My wife's 
cell picks up when that happens.  In my opinion, it;s cheap and reliable 
and it sounds fine.  I got on the unlimited local service with 500 minutes 
of LD which I've been unable to use up any one month.  And, when I was 
doing the setup the techie understood Linux and told me all I needed to 
know to get on the air.

One word of advice, run a  router separate from your main machine and put 
your ATA in a dmz.  Then you can play with your main machine without 
killing your phone.  I also got away from the internal house wiring by 
buying the Uniden multiset pack from Sams and it all works like a charm.
