asterisk users - Jun 2006 - Vonage and FXO

Is anyone using Vonage on an FXO port in Asterisk?  How well does it work?
Specifically, any echo/delay problems?

Second part, I am assuming it is possible to separate fxo ports for least
cost routing correct?  In other words, I would like the routing to be such
that any local or 1-800# dials fxo ports 1-4 which is a normal 4 line analog
PSTN connection.  Any long distance call will try to dial fxo port 5 (Vonage
ATA) first and if it's used then use fxo ports 1-4.  Is this easy to do in
FreePBX?

I know I can get a Vonage softphone account and not use an ATA/FXO port.  I
want to know if I can do it with an ATA/FXO.

I used a scenario like this before but I always ran into intermittent echo
issues that were just not worth the hassle for me so I switched to a sole IP
origination and termination service. 

Just my personal experience!
