wade,

i've done this with my vonage line. it's a piece of cake. there are two easy 
options.

1. hook your vonage router up somewhere where you don't really care about 
having a phone. then, just take a standard phone cable from your vonage 
router straight to one of the phone wall jacks. that should give you dial 
tone over the rest of the jacks in the house

2. this is the more complicated option, and the one i did. plug your vonage 
router in somewhere near the phone box for your house. take a standard phone 
cable and cut the RJ11 jack off of one end. patch that end down on one of 
the terminators on the phone block. plug the other end, which still has an 
RJ 11 jack on it, into the out put of the vonage router.

either should work. the advantage of option 2 is that you don't lose a jack 
in your house. but the disadvantage is of course that it's pretty obviously 
more complicated.

good luck,
- jeremy
