The VT2542 enables Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephony and includes a 4-port wired and 802.11 b/g wireless access point for home networking connectivity. This new device is available at http://www.vonage.com for $59.99 after a $40 instant rebate ($99.00-$40.00=$59.99) (a $9.95 shipping and handling fee and a $29.99 activation fee is charged).

The Motorola VT2542 Internet Phone Adapter & Wireless Router can connect up to two (2) Vonage lines, including telephone and fax, through a high-speed Cable or DSL Internet connection. It also contains four Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) ports and an 802.11b/g Wireless port for additional computers or other network devices.
