Now a followup on the "calls are garbled and/or Internet is slow" comment.
Run the Vonage Speed Test found on this site, or go to www.testyourvoip.com and test there. Also run a few basic speed tests like www.dslreports.com or any test you prefer.
Vonage, at normal settings, takes 90kbps of bandwidth, both up AND down, to support each active line. If your "upstream" speed is limited to, say, 128k, then you are going to have trouble supporting two Vonage lines at the same time. You basically want to have about 256k or more with two lines if you intend to use the Internet connection for anything else at the same time.
You can mitigate this by using the "bandwidth saver" feature on the Vonage web site. You can set the bandwidth to 90k, 50k, or 30k. At 50k, the call quality is pretty darned close to 90k (though you may or may not find it acceptable for your purposes), and you are using a good bit less bandwidth.
30k is somewhat lower quality, but voice can be made out clearly - just don't expect any fidelity. Using that setting, you can almost use Vonage over a dialup connection, it's so stingy on bandwidth. In fact, one of our former members did just that for a while.
To keep outbound voice quality high, use QoS to prioritize your Vonage adapters. This will mean that your Internet performance may suffer during calls if you are low on bandwidth, but your Vonage line will always be #1 in line for any outgoing packets.
