Cancelled Service - what can I do with the Vonage Modem?

Just finished cancelling service - have no more high speed where I moved to (rural) so had to give up the great service and features (not to mention cheap bills!!)

My question is what to do with the modem they sent? VT2442 Motorola if I am not mistaken....

Is it of any use to me (Already have a linksys router which is now useless for high speed routing)

I was wondering the same thing, just cancelled mine yesterday as I'm going to be working where there is no phone or telephone poles for that matter. I've been with them for almost 2.5yrs. Had no problems cancelling, but forgot to ask what I do with the modem. Anybody know?
Thanks for the replies

To quote the movie Airplane.

Johnny what can you make from this?

This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...

I'm sure this isn't as funny to others as it is to me, but it just jumped in to my mind when you both asked this.

As long as you have been a customer for more than 1 year the adapter is yours to keep. Not much use for it, but if its a router you could still use the routing features. Of course since you both don't have broadband anymore a network router probably isn't much help either.

What if you sign back up with Vonage in the future? Will Vonage accept the use of your old adapter?

A related question I have is: I will be moving from Canada to the US and
would like to again have Vonage service in the US, of course at the lower rates but more importantly using my existing RTP300.

Anyone transfered from Canada to US service, or vice-versa?

I suppose u could use it as a personal security device to fend off carjackers?

e-Bay comes to mind first. If you shop at your local electronic store and see someone pick up a Vonage device you could offer yours for real cheap. Local on-line adds perhaps.
It could be nice from Vonage to add a wanted/selling page here for these, since they send you one for free on some promo they could cut costs that way.
