Just because 'Vonage does it' doesn't mean its reliable. In fact, I've 
heard it is very un-reliable. Just because someone says they do it 
doesn't mean they do it well.

Our solution is to use a T38 ATA (www.azatel.com) and a Cisco 5300 
(which supports T38). The call goes thru asterisk as G711 but when it 
hits the 5300, it becomes T38.

So far, this works well for us.
