Picked up a linksys PAP2 Phone Adapter for $6 at a thrift store today thinking there had to be some way to tie it in with an Asterisk server. Initial looking showed that the PAP2-NA could be easily setup. But not the simple PAP2, it seemed locked to Vonage. But, along came the following link: Instructions for Unlocking the PAP2. I’ll post a quote at the bottom of the page with the instructions as I’m not sure if that post will be up long since some people seem to think it violates the service agreement to unlock it. *shrug*

So this is the new project. Unlock it, when I get a new power supply for it: 5 V DC, 2.0A. Then get the Asterisk box setup and hook it all up. More info later on how well the “unlocking” goes.

If you are like me, I cant stand it when I buy a product outright to use and a company feels like they have to own MY product. I dont think so. Anyway if you want to mess with your adapter, just make sure you know what you are doing, because Vonage locks you out of certain settings so that you wont mess them up. If you do mess them up, I wont take any of the blame considering I got this information from VONAGE, Not from hacking. Hope it works for you.
