If you don't mind not using SIP and just need a way to make a call
from your laptop which will ring a phone, why not try
http://www.dualphone.net/ (or something like it) in combo with skype?
Alternatively just get "skype out" on your laptop and call your Vonage
line from that. Rates are pretty low.
