VoIP Over Voice Wiring

There isn't much difference between an Ethernet cable and your in-house telephone wire (the RJ-11 jack that your phones use even plugs into most RJ-45 Ethernet ports, albeit on 4 wires instead of 8). But it still takes a little bit of a leap of faith to patch in your Voice-over-IP service to your home phone lines, —not because it's technologically that difficult (it's not), but because it means you've well and truly left the land-line carriers behind for good. Jake Ludington has a quick write-up of how he patched his Vonage box into his home phone lines and maybe it will serve as some inspiration to you.
