Ok, last steps to examine- do we go for audio alone or is VOIP even thinkable?
VoIP shouldn't need much CPU power or RAM-- especially if using uncompressed formats like alaw or ulaw.
As in if we have USB what does it take to run the Vonage dongle?
USB Vonage dongle? Is this something new? Last I checked, they only allowed their own ATA, which doesn't go through a PC at all.
An encrypted VOIP to keep script kiddie level hackers from overhearing where you hid that spare door key? Do consider that last one as a "full system resources hog" mode on lower end hardware.
I haven't heard of any regular-use VoIP encryption, nor of any providers that support it. Even if they could, it can still be tapped when it hits the POTS.
