ports 5060, 5061 forwarded. I am somewhat sure.

Make sure that Vonage completely unlocks the sip ATA device or they may
only allow non-admin privileges.

All sip ATA devices I have seen allow static IP. I think Vonage uses
Linksys PAP2, but the Sipura ATA ( they were recently acquired by
Cisco)

I have seen some tests done that show QOS only helps marginally, but it
sure didn't hurt.


One thing that Vonage does not do is support Asterisk PBS systems. So if
that is important, then Vonage would be a good choice. QuantumVoice is
the only provider I found that completely support Asterisk and will
allow it, obviously, to register in addition to the sip ATA device. Most
would  just register the ATA device with Asterisk, however.
