Re: [nycwireless] stupid question about vonage
not to endorse vonage either, but you wouldn't believe how good my calls to the US sound from Korea. the latency to the US is around 180-200 ms and everyone keeps saying "it sounds like you're around the corner" for anyone living/travelling overseas, you can't beat $15/month for unlimited calls home plus a domestic phone number. feel free to ask me for a referral!

I use an HP OfficeJet g85 printer/copier/fax machine and I'm using the Motorola box. I hope this helps.

Re: [nycwireless] stupid question about vonage
Fax works most of the time, but modems are very iffy. You'd be lucky to get a solid reliable 9600 baud connection, 14.4 on a good day with the wind behind your back.
