I bill monthly online, you get statements and such calls your made
etc.., online. I was a small isp /hosting company and now I have gone
into the business of providing phone service.I previously was
partnered/worked with IT CANADA it.ca and then went of on my own.
Im atm trying to get arrangements with other small companies to share
area codes ie trade some toronto channels for montreal channels etc..
its a little pain as alot of people seem to be either a)to big to have
authority to do that or b)to greedy to see an advantage in banding small
groups of cleks together :P or c) could not care less as termination is
dirst cheap ex 1cents nationally.
I also do a day job doing digium harware support 9-5, to help pay for
the additional phone lines i had installed.
Well thats me :) , and since you cc'd the entire asterisk list on a pm..
ill cc it again too :)
In terms of software clients, you would need a good headset in most
cases and paying money for a softphone is just a bit silly as there is
littlerly dozens for free. all you need for asterisk is a sip/or iax
account with a provider nothing more.. so softphone account or not would
make no difference with vonage. well it would to vonage.. they would get
more money :)

Interesting, the reason I went with vonage is the coverage. My wife owns a
small travel agency 2 hours north of TO and needs an extra line for local
and long distance calls sometimes even over seas.
Over time I can see having many accounts with smaller providers, even fwd
looks like it may come into play for us if they do voip to pstn
I do appreciate your offer and will consider it, however who are you for
example no offence? How do you bill etc?
Honestly I have this vonage thing and it will have to do for now.
I see vonage does soft phone accounts also which would probably be better
for *. For $13 over and above what I have of coarse.
It would be really nice to see a bunch of asterisk server owners come
together and put a dent in some of these bigger companies coverage like bell
and vonage is what I am saying I guess.
Really take * and open source to a whole new level......

if you want to do things on a budget and use asterisk just use an iax
provider to give you origination and termination :)
if you want i can give you a toronto iax account for something silly
like 5/mo to play with .

Just trying to do this on a budget is the problem.
I am going to hook another pstn line up in the next day or two I guess that
may help answer my own question.

Hey Tony, as far as I know and according to Digium out of the 3 major
sets of clone x100ps there is only one version that works relativly
properly. I dont remember what chipset it was though. in terms of noise
you may want to fiddle with the rx/tx gains in your zap conf that might
give a little less grief. If you are serious about keeping that setup
you should think of getting a tmd400 series card.

Hoping you can help.
I have a couple of x100p generic cards in place, one of which is
hooked to my vonage line.
I notice if you call the vonage number and get passed to voice mail on
the asterisk server there is a lot of back round noise.
It would appear that the noise is only there when the is no input
sound from the receiving end if this makes sence.
For example if you have a normal conversation on the vonage line, the
back round noise seems to die down but if I where to stay silent the
noise would build up to a rather annoying level. It would seem that
the vonage line is somewhat to blame for this however it would seem
that passing through the * box seems to amplify it.
Does the quality of the x100p have something to do with this?
Is there anything that can be done to help cut down the noise somehow
by generating a small amount of input from * for example when no-one
is physically receiving the call?
Looking forward to your replies. Tony.
