These guys have a couple you way want to look at. Since it appears you are just looking for some info, this may be a good place to start as they have a lot of it.
If you're at all handy with Linux might I suggest buying the WalMart $199 PC with Linux on it, then going to Digium's web and buying a 4 port FXS card for $300 or so. For around $500 you could have a 1x4 phone system that does the following (Though this is a small subset!)
a) Anonymous Call Rejection b) Per line Caller-ID blocking. c) Understands pulse dial
There are a host of other features. It also has SIP and G.729 and G.711 codecs so it'll talk to Vonage just like your MTA does.

Nice suggestion. As a matter of fact I have done exactly that. I am in the process of loading Asterick on it as we speak. Since its not a money maker for me (yet) it is a process. It will be sweet to have a Voip phone system for less than 400 per port.

I may even go the freecycle route and pick up a freebie P2 or P3 and slap linux on that. I've got the RH9 distributon on CD so that wouldn't be an issue.
It'd save me the $200+tax, and I'm a frugal guy. I'd think that is obvious from the fact I use Vonage.
Once I get mine up and running I'll report back. I've even got the boss interested at work. Seems we've got an AT&T G3iV11 with Intuity vm but we don't use the VM. I told him we have enough Linux boxes that we should chuck Asterisk on one and push some of our centrex lines into it.
how are you guys getting asterisk to talk to Vonage? I cant even get into the Voip config page on my router, so how are you getting the config info to put into asterisk??
