[ale] Vonage?

[James P. Kinney III]

The Vonage box goes on the ethernet line *before* that NAT/firewall
device. One model of the gizmos has the ethernet line to plug the NAT
box into. The other does not so use  10Base-T hub to share the line with
the Vonage box and the NAT box.

I ran into a headache with doing the "boot Bellsouth" thing. My alarm
system requires a dialtone line for it's back-channel communications to
the CO. Grr.
