asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Help please for newb on Asterisk to Vonage

I just installed Asterisk on my server and I have Vonage softphone.

I need my Asterisk server to receive calls through the Vonage Softphone DID 
and make outgoing calls through the Vonage ATA using an X100p to connect to 
it. Can someone help me out on configuring this? I really need this for my 
business and would greatly appreciate the help.

You arent going to make this happen as you describe. Vonage is not a good
service to use with Asterisk. To quote from the Wiki:

Vonage service is locked to the ATA they send you. It is not possible to
connect Asterisk (or any other SIP UA) directly to your main Vonage service.

If you want to use Asterisk, you will need a different provider.

While I don't use Vonage, I don't think this is true.  You can't use
the basic Vonage account to directly connect to Asterisk.  If you have 
just the basic account you'd need their ATA device and an FXO port on 
your asterisk machine.  If you have the softphone account, though, you 
should be able to connect asterisk directly to your vonage account.  It 
is described in a previous post here:
