Laptop with SoftPhone -> OBiXXX -> Vonage ATA

If you are a tinkerer by nature, I would suggest you start out with both an Obi200 or 202 AND an Obi 110.   You could also do an Obi 200 or 202 with an Obiline but my experience with Obiline has not been all that great.  With both a 202 and a 110, lots of room for experimentation and growth with these two items and the 110 can serve as an FXO port for your mini PBX when it reaches that point.  With the GV (Google Voice) compliant products like the 200 series and the 110, you can also throw GV into your experimentation list although there are some questions surrounding Obi compatibility with XMPP (the underlying protocol for GV) once GV goes WEBRTC in May of next year.  

That is how I started out and it has provided for hours upon hours of learning (and frustration too).

Well then that would make two wives hating me  :'(

I've had an OBi110 for a couple of months.  I chose it because it was the cheapest way to get the FXO.

I've since dropped my land line, and tonight just hooked up an OBi202 - two phone (FXS) lines, 4 service providers, and a much faster processor (the web UI is much snappier and the thing boots like a drop of water on a hot, greased griddle).

I couldn't wait to box up the 110 (but now I have to get it out again to get the last few days of call log off of it).

My wife tolerates me...  As long as the phone works.

My wife has a cell phone. That is all she uses so my home phone setup is all mine to tinker with as much as I want.  I have set up 5 gateways, 2 Bluetooth dongles, incoming/outgoing Skype, a robocall trap, ITAD, ENUM, an extension in hundreds of countries, and god only knows what I forgot about.  The Obi devices are a tinkerers dream. They fall just short of a full blown PBX.  Add a raspberry pi and you can have that too.
