Ronald Gruia points out this Japan-only broadband router from Yamaha, the 57i, that not only does all the usual router stuff - including IPv6 support, because they do that over there - but also has a two RJ-11 ports so you can plug in regular analog phones and use them as SIP devices. There are similar devices available in the US - it's essentially what Vonage sells you when you get the service, albeit not exactly the same standards - but it's sort of interesting to see it actually on the router itself, as a sign that we're moving towards one point of entry for all household data.
