Packet8 has a small ATA.  I could also get one of those small hip phones
with headphones or even a 2.4ghz small cordless and in these DC's I'll have
VOIP access. It will also give me free phone and long distance in my hotel.
I usually stay at only hotels with high speed access.  I use linux on the
laptop and can just carry a usb->ether adapter for the VOIP setup.  Usually
me and my travel partner share the high speed by me turning my laptop into
a WiFi AP and I provide him a USB adapter for Winbloze XP.  Works great. And
we get VPN access back to the office using VTUN.

&gt; Do you get all the benefits?  VM, Calle ID and others?
&gt; 
&gt; Do you know if I can buy multiple ATA's and then just pay the $5 per
&gt; month for the extra numbers.  Another concern woul;d be firewall issues.
&gt; I assume I'll need to punch some holes.
