I belive it is about $200 per year, about $16.66 per month. It works fine either directly connected to the cable modem, or behind a router/NAT gateway. It has all of the features you expect including voicemail and a web interface. It is SIP complient although they don't promote that fact.
<br><br>I've never tried monitoring the network traffic, so I don't know how that goes. Being SIP complient should help in finding documentation though.<br><br>Third Party Forum - <a href="http://www.sunrocketforum.com/index.php">
