Use Vonage on Windows Vista

I purchased and installed voicent 7.x release. I have a vista operating system. Will I be able to use vonage and if so how do I install it in my voicent gateway?

Voicent release 7 supports SIP, which is a standard for VOIP services. So this release can work with almost all VOIP service providers. However, Vonage, though SIP based, does not open its SIP credential for access by other software. You must use Vonage’s softphone to access its service.

Besides the Vonage softphone, Vonage also provides a router/adapter for analog phones. This adapter can be used by Voicent program through the use of a voice modem. When a voice modem is used, Voicent software can use the Vonage service as if it is an analog phone service. One limitation of the voice modem is that it does not work on Windows Vista. For more information about voice modem, please see modem FAQ

So in order to use Vonage, you must use a voice modem and install the software on a Windows XP computer. Or choose a SIP based VOIP service provider (no modem necessary) and install the software on any Windows OS.
