Vonage - Lufthansa
Anyone tried using a vonage soft phone from a Lufthansa flight? For that matter, it would be interesting to see if you could bring your linksys adapter on the plane, connect to connexion through your computer and plug a regular phone in and have normal phone calls.
Assuming of course you could get all that garbage through security first...

Better be upgraded because I doubt there is enough room in an economy seat to manage all that gear!
Don't forget Vonage has a SoftPhone you could install on a laptop and use a headset. It still may not work due to bandwidth, but it is much more practical than carting around an adapter and phone jus to see if it would work.

Horrible thought just went through my mind: Someone saying, "Hey XXX, guess where I am?!"

so i am using my bose + a headset microphone to talk.
so i dont have to shoud as i can understand the others very good.
i am still looking for a noise cancellation headset which will cancel the airplane noise for IN and OUT.
in my eyes talking on the phone on the airplane does not affect others because its so lound anyway, and a phone call is not louder than talking someone next to you.
