Well, my LD company gives me an 866 number which I use when I travel.
they just charge me my normal LD rate(3.9 cents/minute).
Vonage has an 800 number option for $4.95, which I could use to until
they discover the 541 area code. Have to be prepared for some odd looks
though when local folk ask your phone number. heh.

The main obstacle right now is finding decent broadband that's not
Qwest. Comcast's upstream is simply horrible.
