Phone Is Up...

We now have Vonage as our phone service. This is a very slick system that works over the internet using normal phones. Once I got the DSL line working I plugged in the Vonage box into the router, hooked a wireless phone base into the Vonage, and I now have 4 cordless phones all over the house that work just like land line phones. So of the four things I have spent ALL week trying to achieve we now have two. One: Internet - DSL is now up. Two: Phone - Vonage is now up. Three: Direct TV, Dish Network, or Cable - That would be a big 'NO' on all three! The first two can't see the satellite, and the last is not available yet. Four: Alarm System - They will not install until we have a phone line. This does NOT include Vonage as it is does not work for them apparently. So we have signed up for the cheapest line Quest offers - $8.95 a month. This goes in Monday and the alarm is installed next weekend. More tomorrow.
