VOIP Woes

[Maxtr0sity]

My parents decided to get VOIP, them being too spontaneous and did no research, it kills me. Today, the no-name company (iTalkBB) sends us a Linksys VOIP modem. This thing has one port for ethernet and one port for telephone. Here's my problem.

1. Where do I put it. Right now, I have a wireless router setup. Can VOIP handle going through a router first?

2. The VOIP modem has one telephone jack output. Does that mean I have to go in the basement and find that one telephone line that comes into the house and plug that in? We have 4 phones in the house, it'd be useless if only one phone was using VOIP.

3. How much bandwidth does VOIP take?

Thanks.

I think 2 different lines are just for getting you connected to the IP network...

either through ethernet or telephone line...

Here's how it's done..

1. Connect from router to VOIP modem using LAN cable.
2. Connect from VOIP modem to phone using regular phone cable.
That is what the two ports on the back of the VOIP modem are for.

That part I understand, but that only gives one phone VOIP, what about all the other phones around the house? Is it possible to plug the VOIP output to a wall jack so all the phones receive signal?
