I just got my cable company's digital (VOIP) phone service. Since I already had their Digital TV and Roadrunner I got a really good deal on this.

They basically just switched out my old cable modem for a newer one that supports this service. So I'm curious if there's any way I could make and receive calls on my Mac using my new phone service? So I was thinking perhaps there's a softphone or some kind of application that would allow me to do this? I've looked around and seen some applications like X-Lite and iSoftphone but I'm not sure if these will do the trick. I'm actually not sure if anything will.

It seems rather complicated which is why I'm posting. This isn't something I really need, because I can obviously just use a regular phone, but it would be kind of nice. Any help would be appreciated. :)
