[GreenKeys] VoIP ringers

[sdaitch at kuw.ibb.gov]

Iv'e got a Vonage VTA-VD and I can't seem to locate
an REN rating.  I've never had any problems with 
ringing, but I think I know why, the Panasonic 
cordless phone set we use with the Vonage box is
a 0.18 REN, not much of a challenge.

Don, you are right, when we lose power at the house
or any problems with the ISP, we lose our VoIP, but
locality for us makes VoIP with its inherent issues
a financially wise decision.  Plus we have a local
wired phone and a local cell phone, should we need
that connectivity.
