  Well, Vonage is now distributing a Motorola gateway, not the ATA186.
I've seen a configuration posted for a Vonage connection for Asterisk.  I
imagine that someone just sucked the settings off an ATA186, or just via a
packet sniff.  Vonage supports the X-ten softphone now, so it should be
pretty easy to find out the appropriate proxy and outbound server to use.

  I doubt they support a "bring your own client" config, but who does?
I've heard that some providers harrass clients using non-supported
hardware.  That sorta makes sense though.  iptel.org runs a public SIP
server, and they claim that they discard up to 60% of all SIP requests
sometimes because there are so many broken SIP user agents out there.
I've never heard of Vonage complaing about it.
