I have several Vonage lines connected to a Panasonic key/PBX office system. I use the ATA devices supplied by Vonage, and plug them directly into the CO ports on the Panasonic switch.
Thanks for the responses! I'd like a good deal of the following Asterisk PBX features:
ADSI On-Screen Menu System Alarm Receiver Append Message Authentication Automated Attendant Blacklists Blind Transfer Call Detail Records Call Forward on Busy Call Forward on No Answer Call Forward Variable Call Monitoring Call Parking Call Queuing Call Recording Call Retrieval Call Routing (DID & ANI) Call Snooping Call Transfer Call Waiting Caller ID Caller ID Blocking Caller ID on Call Waiting Calling Cards Conference Bridging Database Store / Retrieve Database Integration Dial by Name Direct Inward System Access Distinctive Ring Distributed Universal Number Discovery (DUNDi™) Do Not Disturb E911 ENUM Fax Transmit and Receive (3rd Party OSS Package) Flexible Extension Logic Interactive Directory Listing Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Local and Remote Call Agents Macros Music On Hold Music On Transfer: - Flexible Mp3-based System - Random or Linear Play - Volume Control Predictive Dialer Privacy Open Settlement Protocol (OSP) Overhead Paging Protocol Conversion Remote Call Pickup Remote Office Support Roaming Extensions Route by Caller ID SMS Messaging Spell / Say Streaming Media Access Supervised Transfer Talk Detection Text-to-Speech (via Festival) Three-way Calling Time and Date Transcoding Trunking Voip Gateways Voicemail: - Visual Indicator for Message Waiting - Stutter Dialtone for Message Waiting - Voicemail to email - Voicemail Groups - Web Voicemail Interface Zapateller
Forwarding calls to outside telephone numbers would especially be useful.
Vonage NO LONGER SUPPORTS ASTERISK OR ANY OTHER Voip PBX SYSTEM!!!

I know I haven't been around in a while, but still, that response is not helpful. Vonage NEVER officially supported Voip PBX products, but mine still works fine. You can't call them and get tech support on it, but it works if you set it up right.
Yes Vonage did offer the SMB+ accounts which were resold through Vonage authorized VAR's. This program started in 2004 and was terminated June 2008. These accounts were special as Vonage was just selling 4, 8, 16, and 24 line plans along with minutes to go with them. The SIP credentials were released to the customer so that they could run any hardware or software based PBX they wanted. However, this only suited true businesses as the price started at $149 a month for 4 lines rated at 8000 outbound minutes total per account not per line.
It was not directly marketed through Vonage and Customer Care did not even know about these plans as they did not support them. And only employees that were around since 2004 know they exist. The VAR's signed the customers and supported the customer from the initial install to any hardware, software, or configuration issues. Support from Vonage is performed by a higher level Engineering team for service issues.
Thats not exactly true, I knew about VAR accounts when I worked there. People here aren't talking about VAR accounts because VAR accounts are typically rebranded for the reseller.
You reopened a thread that was last commented almost 6 months ago. The topic was PBX for small business which is a VAR account. VAR accounts were never rebranded. They were sold as Vonage VAR. And your response to Dingus was that Vonage never officially supported Voip PBX products.
The SMB+ VAR accounts were official and were supported by Vonage just not Tech Support or Customer Care. This included authorized IP PBX's from AudioCodes, Quintum, Epygi, Cisco Call Manager, and of course Asterisk.
