I've tested Vonage, only because I had it, with the Semena NE2000 Network Test Device and introduced multiple error, path, and latency issues and it stood up very well. At one point, I jacked up the latency to 4000ms and I was still able to place, communicate, and drop calls effectively. I was very surprised at how it handled that large introduced latency. I don't know about Vonage support. Never tried it. -M<
