[X4U] airport express and voip

[James S Jones]

The Vonage VoIP box (typically, a Linksys) is also a router. You 
connection path would be:

	cable modem to VoIP router (via ethernet cabling)
	VoIP router to Airport Express (also via ethernet cabling)

Vonage works just fine with the Airport routers. I've been doing so 
since January.
