Free ATA/PAP2 ...anyone know what that means? - jimbrady - 01-04-2006

It has something to do with VoIP phone service--apparently the Vonage/Linksys box available at Staples for $50 before a $50 rebate (that doesn't require signing up for Vonage) can be hacked to work independently of Vonage.

Is this a great thing?

Here's the hacking link (courtesy of Techbargains):

I'm clueless enough that I can't even tell whether/how much this is a shady proposition. Can anyone explain this with fewer acronyms?
