My son (in Atlanta, GA) just contracted with Vonage to switch his phone services over using the new protocol. I see some advantages to it and some disadvantages. I'd like to save money on my local phone service if I could but for now it's not possible with Verizon. Only AT&T (around here anyway) provides that service. Cost is reasonable - $29.95 per month for unlimited local and long distance service. Of course you must have either cable or telephone DSL already installed in order for it to work. Neither SBC nor Verizon offers that service "yet". chscag@gmail.com CMPQwk 1.42 1262 --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: COMM Port OS/2 juge.com 204.89.247.1 (281) 980-9671 (1:106/2000) .
