Unless things have changed, someone can listen on your cable network and pull out your voice packets. The VoIP phones use some ATM technology (AAL2, I believe), that is packed into IP packets. I have never listened to see if it was possible, but they didn't support any security (SSL or anything). This analysis was based on either Vonage or AT&T (I can't remember). But things might have changed. I looked at that a year ago. In addition to Vonage and TWC, there is also AT&T's Callvantage. I have had good luck with it. It is (or was) slightly more expensive than Vonage, but cheaper than TWC. And I had no problems porting my existing phone number to it. Vonage on the other hand couldn't port the number in over 5 months. AT&T took 5 days. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
