Well i have been trying to set my moms Vonage phone up through a verizon nationacess broad band wireless modem with the broad band router that Vonage sent but it needs a external modem for the router to work right and i was wondering if there is a way to set it up with out the router and use a voice fax modem.
thank you if you can help

wow that's confusing. can you write it in better english?
if not, here's a stab at it
what is the model of the modem? are there any ports at all to plug into? voice/fax modem has nothing to do with anything so you won't be able to use it.

haha, ok, this is a net card that works over the cellular network. while it looks like it will theoretically be fast enough for Vonage (bandwidth wise) I highly doubt Vonage will work with this. not to mention all the hassle of buying more and more stuff just to rig it so it might work.

post the results here. after that, run testyourvoip.com detailed results and post them.

I'm telling you all this with the understanding that 1. I think your phone calls will be crap at best and will basically be unusable and this isn't worth the trouble, 2. when it comes down to it, I don't even know if it will work/connect at all, but I think you would do something similar to this:
