The only way you can sniff the traffic is if your vonage is passing
through your sniffer or if you vonage box is connected to a hug
connected to the sniffer.  It has to send out something, otherwise
it's broke.  Also, for any vonage box made prior to 2005, the port
should be 5061.  For anything since 2005, try port 10000.  Another
disclaimer, I don't know if that's the correct or not, I can't test it
out.
