So if my quick read is correct if you dial 911 on an unsetup Vonage service you have no emergency service?? Their should be some basic inprint to keep this from happening such as some type of digital and non-digital forwarding of the users current IP and iSP provider and emergency contact EVEN if the call is disconnected. What a disaster this issue poses. The other quirk I heard about is router/wireles and Netgear brand setup with Netgear compatibility. I'm not into Wireless (or netgear) on my end anyways so *shrug* I have been thinking about the service and the 911 issue is my only real issue. For now.. I keep shopping and researching the idea. - Z I recently read over Lockergnomes rambles about vonage as well and it seems Vonage has some a couple minor quirks to workout.

Also "use the blue bar at the right of the image" sounds like Aunty is making mostly unwarranted assumptions about what gear Viewer is using to Render Page. (Braille terminal, anyone?) Although I do see (sic) an image, it doesn't have a blue anything, neither left nor right. (Right-to-left rendering anyone? :-) If it is it is, it is it’s; if it is its, it is its.

Have you heard the other one? Some Congresscritter has introduced a bill to stop the National Weather Service reports. Yep: seems AccuWeather, which sells weather graphics to TV, is upset that the NWS is improving its web site and we taxpayers can get the info for "free" - free, meaning we only paid for it once.
