The voip.ms service doesn't provide the hardware.  You sign up with them 
to get a phone number, basically, and the Cisco ATA translates phone to 
internet (via LAN/ethernet connection).  

I have been doing this setup this week to add dialup to my system, and 
it seems to be working pretty well (gonna advertise it soon).  I got a 
Grandstream brand ATA from Amazon for $40 and it works well.
