[kwlug-disc] voip questions

[Insurance Squared Inc.]

Given that it seems we have access to local (non KW) numbers with voip 
now, I'd like to ask the experts two questions wrt to moving my home 
phone from bell to voip.

1) should I be able to move my home phone number from Bell to a voip 
provider, if the voip provider offers numbers in my town?
2) I've got a cordless voip phone that I've never been able to get 
working.  So if that's not going to work what's the best way to merge my 
existing analog home  phones throughout the house with my voip 
computer?  Is there a magical box I can buy or something?
