One of my clients is using Vonage for their business. The secret on the
Vonage connection is to put the Vonage box(s) between the DSL modem and
the LAN. This way, the QoS stuff in the Linksys box will work well. They
have 4 lines over 2 boxes. The calls are crystal clear with no lag time
apparent. When the calls happen, their net access slows but they are
quite happy with it.
