I have a nasty feeling that if you have one of the integrated ATA/ 
Router thingy's that Vonage has been shipping lately, you may be  
S.O.L.  I'd be surprised (*really* surprised) if those devices  
forwarded the Vonage packets out to the LAN.

I think your only option would be to get another router/firewall  
(IPCop even) and put that in front of your Vonage box.  You'd use the  
Linksys thing only as an ATA, not as a router.  Then you could grab  
the Vonage packets on your firewall or using a hub as per normal.

Be aware though:  I've read that for some reason, the sniffer script  
may NOT work for any newer Vonage accounts activated since January  
2005.  I have *NO* personal experience with that (I've had Vonage a  
long time), nor can I cite any source off the top of my head.  It  
might be something to research a bit before you start rearranging  
your network for nothing, though.
