==========================
From: "Glenn Meadows" <gmeadow@comcast.net>

That's what we want to do (plug into the existing wiring), but we live in an
Apartment, and don't have the same type of outside disconnect box. We're all in
one big central riser box for the building, so until/unless/if Bell South
actually kills the line at the box, I'm reluctant to do that.

For now, we have a 3 phone 5gig phone that works just fine for our 2 BR
apartment.  I just put the base station at the Vonage box instead of in the
kitchen.

I saw at Circuit City, complete phone systems designed to work with Vonage
(wireless systems).

There are a couple of other services that now appear to be popping up.
