New vonage enabled router

I've had vonage for 3.5 years and my original vonage enabled linksys router has just broken down. I'm searching now for a new router but am having trouble finding anywhere that is selling them. I called tech support and they gave me six choices, but none seem to be available anywhere, except 1 or 2 on amazon.com or ebay. Should I just get a normal router, then buy a vonage adapter? Seems hard to find an adapter also....Looking for anyone's suggestions on what they have bought recently.
Tech list of routers:
Linksys: WRTPG2, WRT54GP2, WRTP54G
Vonage: VDV21
Motorola: VT2142
D-Link: VWR
Adapters:
D-Link VTA
Linksys PAP2
Linksys PAPV2
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

I've often felt that combining functions is a mistake. I'd go with a normal router and a Vonage adapter. The V-portal is what they provide these days, so I'd go with that.

Just keep in mind, anything you purchase online and not directly from Vonage must be a Vonage branded unit. I don't even believe that the WRTPG2 was ever a model offered by Vonage, therefore could not be used since it would not come from their inventory. In addition to Vonage branded, vendors such as Linksys make the PAP2 and PAP2 v2 as open devices which can be used with any SIP provider other then Vonage. So if it is not a Vonage box locked to the Vonage service, it will be a waste of your money.

My advice to you would be go pick out the router of your choice and a telephone adapter directly through Vonage.
