Vonage vs. Verizon

As I understand it, you can do things that way while still using an open
standard. Just because it gives you the option of rolling your own
Asterisk PBX doesn't mean it excludes you from the option of using an
off the shelf Linksys box to do it for you.

Personally, I might never setup my own * box, but I'd pick something
like BroadVoice over Vonage simply because they offer choice, rather
than a locked down proprietary system.
