Well I own a VoIP network. But my clients are corporations. I'm not aimed at
home or SOHO users. You can have single line card(s) and connect directly to
the PSTN. Or you can use a broadband connection and go over the Internet.
Using VoIP is just more fun. No reason you cannot have both. Unfortunately I
could not tell you what to expect price wise. Vonage is big and able to
compete with the the likes of AT&T. Their pricing should be pretty good.
