First off, congratulations Stan. Sounds like your house at least
survived somewhat intact!

I've been considering Vonage for a while too but wasn't sure of it's
stability/quality. Sounds like maybe I should really start checking
into it. Already have cable modem so hooking it up should be pretty
simple, I think. Seems to me that I could just disconnect the main
phone line where it comes into the house and hook the Vonage feed into
there and then all of the phones should be switched to Vonage service,
right? We have a lot of phones in the house (7 I think) and they all
split off from the main junction terminals in the basement that the
current phone line feeds.

Sound right?
