COOOOL!

Holy crap! Vonnage service apparently ROCKS!

I picked up my VoIP modem from the post box yesterday, and just plugged it in a few minutes ago. It got put between my cable modem & my router. Plugged everything in, powered up, picked up the handset and got a dial tone. Whoa. Grabbed Chaz's cell phone, set it to silent, and called it through the wired line. CallerID showed my home number!!!! YeeeeeeHAW! Now comes an interminable 8 hours waiting for Chaz to wake up to try to call my number and see if the Vonnage phone catches the call as well. If that works, I tackle rewiring the punchdown box to plug the rest of the regular wired lines in the house into the internet.

I'm bouncing off the walls... technology is so cool sometimes. Maybe I'm jaded by my stuff not working on the first try that this is amazing.
