Isn't that a little overkill to have to have a computer running 24/7 
for phone service? When I travel I can take my little Vonage box with 
me and have my home number anywhere there's broadband. Even that's 
overkill when Vonage rings my cell phone simultaneously and I don't 
have to deal with hotels that block VOIP ports.
