asterisk users - Mar 2007 - OT Vonage V-Phone Adapter (Possible Hack)

It would be cool to get one of these and see if it can be hacked and
loaded with your favorite SIP or IAX softphone.  Looking at the pic, it
looks like the dongle is both a soundcard and memory stick.  Heck, I
would be glad to have it if I could get the soundcard to work.

Might as well since it is free after rebate.

Hate to reply to my own thread, but the rebate is only available with
new activations.  I am still in for one to play with.

Thanks,
Steve

Just as a heads up, that rebate, like most of the others for Vonage  
based items, requires Vonage activation in order to actually get the  
rebate.

Steve,
If you can get this to work with your own choice of softphone please
post back to the list. I've wondered about it myself.

The real question is what quality softphones can run as an executable or
without having to install anything?  I assume that the Vonage softphone
operates this way (can anyone confirm?)

I am thinking about machines that are locked down.  I guess the sound
card will not install either in that case (but if it has an internal
sound card, it should work).

Thanks,
