Yes, good choice if you want to have 2 telephone numbers terminating
on a single set of handsets. For 2 separate sets of handsets, each
with their own numbers, PAP2 or Sipura/Linksys SPA-2000 or
variations. If you buy a PAP2 make sure that it is not, and never has
been. locked to Vonage - I would advise NOT to buy one second hand as
you don't know its history.
If you want to increase the number of outgoing providers on the PAP2
etc. it is possible by use of external services.

The SPA-3000 does have the advantage that it will readily cater for up
to 5 outgoing providers. It does, however, have a PSTN input which
will be of no use to you if you are ditching your landline.
