No ideas I am afraid, but how do you achieve this in, say a hotel room?
    

1-Asus WL-330g logs on to Wi-Fi  (need computer for initial setup;
   thereafter it is smart enough to log on by itself unless it needs a
   rolling password as hotels often impose, changing at noon)
2-Plug IPphone into Asus WL-330g; phone is pre-configured with
   London, Bangkok and Boston numbers.   Hit a button; get a    dial tone.   Also, when someone calls from one of those countries,
   the IPphone rings.

I am writing up a HowTo for some VoIP functions; anyone who needs let me know.

(Instead of IPphone you can use small ATA from Linksys or other
vendors and a plain analog phone.   I have a really tiny tiny one,
just bigger than a matchbox, usable with headset.  Always carry
it with me.)

So the iPhone you refer to is the Linksys iPhone I presume ? I think Nokia do a phone with wifi connectivity as well as working as a normal phone - not sure if there is a software VOIP client for that though ?
I guess a hacked (aka Jailbreaked) Apple iPhone may have this capability, so you wouldn't need the WL-330g then ?

Even though softphones will never give the quality of a hardware device, it's a pity we still don't have a VOIP  softphone client for eComStation. If there were one, I could install it on my EeePC netbook and have the same capability that you refer to via my VSP.
