The 2nd line is for a second line or a dedicated fax line.

That is something one performs after all else fails.

Sadly, that is all too often true.

Installation and Troubleshooting Guide, page 1 of the troubleshooting section, under "I have no dial tone", solution number 1 ".Check to make sure the phone is plugged into the proper port on the Digital Phone Adaptor. Use phone port 2 only if you have ordered more than one line."
Also on page 2, under "My phone does not ring/ my calls go to voicemail automatically, solution number 1, same as above.

Also, if you go online and search throught the FAQ's at http://vonage.com/help.php you should be able to find more references to the second telephone jack (or port) on the MTA
