Linksys WRT54GL with your choice of third party firmware. This
has been brought up many times and that seems to be generally
accepted as a solid solution on the cheap. I have had mine
since May 2005 (granted it was just the WRT54G then but same
device) and has been a champ ever since.
I've got other ones that family members use that have been
working for almost as long.
Maybe the answer to this is self-evident but would my device be
'workable' or 'upgradeable' or do I need to find a wrt device that isn't
locked, and with which I can work?

According to http://oldwiki.openwrt.org/Hardware(2f)Linksys.html , the
wrtp45g is still a work in progress. From the docs there, it uses an TI
AR7 processor instead of a Broadcom commonly found in consumer routers.
So I don't know how easily or usable putting openwrt on it would be.
Other third party firmwares might work but my experience is almost
exclusively with openwrt.
Also, if you need to get a new phone adapter for Vonage, you can just go
buy one of the linksys adapters for vonage from best buy and then call
vonage and have them change the device on your account. My parents had
to do that after my mom plugged their ATA into a 240 plug in the UK
without checking to see if the power supply can take 240 or using a
power converter instead of a plug adapter. It was actually kind of
hilarious. :)
Hopefully that is of some help.
