I have a friend on TekSavvy and VOIP from Vbuzzer. Unfortunately one needs a 
Windows client machine to modify the voicemail greeting. I had to fix another 
friend's netbook whose wireless was borked (an obscure setting in MS XP) so we 
quickly modified the voicemail with that.

For the phone we're using regular Panasonic Cordless plugged into a Linksys 
PAP2T-NA device. The Phone service is U$60 a year. It's been a year and there 
has been no DSL outage (Friend lives in a condo) and the VOIP went down once.
