SWEET!!!!!

I already have all the equipment, so when I get there all I have to do is plug it in AWESOME!

Hopefully there are no issues. That was one area of concern for me, contacting every one back home. Thanks for the reply.

Couple of people posted that Vonage does work without any additional hardware/software,
Any success for those that tried it?

Also, even if i install VPN and use Skype, its still considered 'cheating' right?

VPN is not considered as cheating. So many companies provide VPN connections to their remote employees.

I downloaded it before coming, worked great, but then I had to do a clean reinstall, and i didn't manage to save Skype. So, if you're trying to get the software, visit download.com. Also good for free proxies! Download dot com lets you access lots of freeware that might normally be caught and blocked by a provider that shall not be named.
