vonage is horrible and isn't guaranteed to work all the time on trixbox---if you do get it to work
for your home or small business, use vitelity.com. not too bad
use bandwidth.com for MUCH more reliability
connect.voicepulse.com is also very reliable. Very low latency if you either live around New York City or San Francisco - that's where their data centers are

I mean vonage type of services - providing their own device and you could not easily customized. There are quite a few those companies providing such voip services. Do not know if they can work with Trixbox. Just give you an example - I just have a voip service who provide their ATA (customized Linksys SPA2002). I assume that I could not get all info about truncking from the box in order to setup the trixbox. So what is my choice to make it work if I encounter a service provider providing a blackbox? (I know the obvious answer, switch to a trixbox friendly voip provider)

You'd need a FXS port so you could plug from the FXO port on the ATA to Trixbox.
I dont think there is any provider worth going with that will only let you use their device though so its not really worth worrying about.
Are you going to try to do everything the hard way ? I see a pattern forming lol.

jmullinix,
TB Rookie here,so go easy!..:-)
I have had a Vonage account for two years now,and am very happy with it to be honest. BUT,,,for testing purposes how would I make a trunk with my new TB to my exisiting Vonage account? Do I need to get the " Softphone" account as well, as is posted in most TB "howtos"? I have an exisiting IP8100 Vtech Base/two phone setup/Wan/Lan two port setup,,,and the audio quailty is perfect. How would I inteface my TB box to the IP8100 Vtech base? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Barry

In our office, we do just as John describes. We actually have three lines from Charter Communications and a regular business account from Vonage (not the softphone "upgrade") with a voice line and a fax line. All of the incoming lines (trunks) from both Charter and Vonage come out of ATA devices. We connect them all to tb via a Rhino 4 port FXO EC card. No problems at all. Because of the free long distance with Vonage, all long distance call are routed out through their trunk. Works great for us although we do not have any clients configured this way.

The customers that I have that use Vonage we have connected to FXO ports on a TDM card. I have a 3 foot telephone cord from the back of the Vonage Router (ATA) into the FXO port. It works just fine. I don't know of a way to direct route the Vonage to a SIP trunk on Trixbox unless you have their business account, but they charge you by the minute on that account. Take a good look at your long distance usage. I have converted all of my long distance accounts to VOIP, pay as you go. That has saved me a ton of money, even over a Vonage account. Take a look at Aretta.com, Voicepulse, Carriers.icall.com and some of the others.
Have fun, that is at least part of what all of this is about.
