I played with this awhile back with netfoss & net2bbs. You can get it to "work" as long as Vonage supports the G.711u or G.711a codec.  If it only supports G.729 then it will seldom work, if at all.

I say "work" because even if when all things are optimal it was always kind of flaky.  I left it up for nearly a year, other than getting people to test it at the beginning nobody ever dialed in.  More of a novelty than anything else.
