   I'd be most curious to know whether or not the javascript that makes the   
   google voice work in the first place winds up revealing the ACTUAL   
   originating IP address.  All the VPN's, SSH tunnels, and TOR chains in   
   the world won't save you if that's the case...unless perhaps you're   
   running the web browser over VNC (or remote desktop, or X11 forwarding,   
   etc) with a tunnel going into that, and no way to link you to the box   
   actually running the web browser...   
      
   Anyway, I can't be bothered to check this out myself, but it might be   
   something to think about for anyone trying to make use of Google Voice   
   anonymously...
