I know how Voip transfers and handles calls from computer to computer, but how is it able to transfer calls from a computer, to the internet, to phone lines, to a phone?

I travel quite a bit and am on 1-2 month assignments. I get wireless access in hotels Istay for my laptop but I want to be able to use my Vonage phone that needs internet.

I have just signed up for VOIPforLife (voice over internet service life Vonage). I have a DSL line from Verizon. The VOIP is working great on the one phone I have plugged into the phone adapter. I didn’t realize until today that my DSL is carried throughout the house over the same lines that voice is. I went to the NID box and tried to isolate the inside wiring and of course lost the DSL.
I could buy a wireless set of phones to carry voice throughout the house, but I have a DIsh Network DVR (like TIVO) that needs a dedicated phone connection.
I have a couple of options, I could isolate the DSL from the rest of the house by splitting the phone jack by the phone adapter, but I’m not 100% sure that the VOIP provider is honest in saying that the jacks are parellel jacks.
Is there any way to provide a “wireless” phone jack for my DVR reciever? It seems like the latter would be the easiest way to put one phone jack in a different room.

Looking for the most economical way to stay in touch with friends and family in the US while I am in South Africa. Any Suggestions?

I have Acanac voip service and I was told I could purchase my own phone adapter. I saw a Linksys PAP2 adapter at a very good price that is unlocked and is suppose to work with Acanac. I can’t configure it to work. Acanac recommends Sipura ATA-2100 or 2102. They only give support on an ATA adapter.
I have tried logging on to the IP address of the adapter but none of the usual IP addresses associated withe Linksys products that I know will work.
Somebody please help.

Thanks.

I have a old Vonage Voip phone adapter, can i get a BYOD service, and use this?
