I had vonage before I moved to the boonies, it's great for home usage, and 911 connectivity isn't always available, but I believe that if you have a cellphone you'll be covered on the disaster front AND the 911 front.
After All, the Cellular System is often more reliable than the landlines in metropolitan areas. --------------------- www.djzooky.com The DJ Zooky Show -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John W.

He feels it's due to SBC (DSL provider) problems rather than Vonage. They don't recommend switching the home line since 911 service isn't available, and when the next earthquake comes, having a POTS line may be your only connectivity.
