(I thought Vonage presumed this is how it's done--you plug your entire internal phone system into the Vonage jack, which then goes into the broadband.)

BTW, on Tivo, you should get a network adapter, wireless if necessary, and have it get on your network as well. The info updates are faster and you can program tivo from work (or elsewhere, even the vomitorium, if you have internet access there).
For the record, and so that no one has to endure the hell I endured this weekend, you cannot use a network adapter with a Direct TV Tivo. Yes, there are USB ports back there. No, they do not work. Direct TV likes it that way.

The solution, which is less than ideal, is to use the Vonage router with a multi-handset cordless phone system and to get a cheap, local only land-line only for the Tivo and the alarm. And apparently I could do without Tivo making its call, since it downloads all of the program information from the satellite, but for the Sunday Ticket, it needs to make a phone call...

On an unrelated, but gadgety note, I bought myself a shiny pink Ipod today.
