maybe they do a CNAM dip and if nothing is found they reject it. Given that most VoIP providers do not have CNAM entries for their DIDs, and some CLECs may not either, I am wondering if that is all they are doing or if they are looking in LIDB for a flag commonly used for VoIP numbers (which the only one that comes to mind is the one that is used to disallow collect calls, and 3rd party billing, which I can see many legit people having as well, making me think that would have a high false positive rate). -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel pgp key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8AE5C721 _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
