RHC: No, I didn't have to do a damn thing...just get the phone number
while registering and then plug it in. There are a number of
compatible and NON compatible routers up on the website; mine wasn't
listed, but it worked plug and play. I did notice that my router
assigned a local network IP address automatically from the DHCP pool
though, which is normal for any network attached device.

In Canada, we can ONLY buy through Amazon.ca. It's $79. While the US
based website says $30 a year, for some reason it's $40 a year up here
(maybe $10 for the Canadian number - not uncommon with VoIP services
in Canada)

It specifically says this product does NOT work with alarms;however,
Jim Rojas says it does. I will trial it for a month and let you know.
