Note that you don't need to allow incoming traffic to reach the VT on
ports 53 or 69, you need to allow the VT to open outbound connections on
those ports (DNS and TFTP, respectively). In addition, I had to open up
outbound UDP on port 123 (NTP) as well, because even though I run NTP
internally, the ATA's configuration is locked down and can't be changed
(thanks Vonage :( ).

Also note that I am using IPFW2+NATD, but this looks ok (except for the
53 and 69, but we already talked about that :)

Ok, I had the same problem, but I discovered that my ATA (I got mine
when they sent out Cisco Analog Telephone Adapters, hence ATA) always
uses port 10000, and the Vonage-side of the connection is always port
11000. I have been using the service for more than a year now and I
haven't had a single occasion where the connection was anything other
than what I just described.

Like I said, I am using IPFW2+NATD, and the dummynet pipe/queue
configuration works very well for giving my VoIP traffic plenty of
bandwidth. I don't know if ipf has the same or similar facility, but it
is worth looking into. I hope to soon be running pf+altq :D
Hope this helps!
