[Asterisk-Users] Vonage and Asterisk integration

As much as I dislike Vonage, they do have one advantage -- more rate
centers than most.  I was looking for an 815/Rockford and until
recently, only Vonage had that.  Packet8 also has that, but I could get
a Vonage Softphone line for that area, and probably configure it for
Asterisk, but I can't do that for P8.
