Same as any other VOIP line. Use the existing house wiring AFTER disconnecting from the external telephone network at the NID: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_interface_device http://www.homephonewiring.com/nid.html Open the NID (regular screwdriver required) and unplug what look like short phone cord loopback cables plugged into "TEST" jacks. This isolates your inside wiring from the phone company. Plug the Ooma / Vonage box into any telephone jack near an internet feed, hook it up to the internet, plug in the power adapter and there ya go, at least in theory. I've had Ooma since Woot ran a special six months ago. Over this time it has worked fairly well, at least as well as the Comcast cable modem service. I think I've only had to power cycle the Ooma box once or twice when it wasn't a Comcast issue. The taxes-only minimum service is missing a couple things I really miss but not enough to upgrade to the $120/year Premier service. The thing I miss most is voicemail email forwarding.
