What caused that issue was file transfers and other bursty traffic overwhelming queues, resulting in vonage traffic being stomped.
My router is a BSD/OS box and I see no evidence that it's losing packets. Keep in mind that the trouble was on inbound traffic, and my internal network, a 100Mb switched ethernet, is a lot faster than my T1, so it's hard to see how there'd be any queueing under any circumstances. I did traceroutes, looks like it was in either Sprint-land or the NSP to NSP gateway.
