Hi,

First of all, thanks for Ekiga! Second, I'd like to add my vote to bring
back the web interface, or at least the numeric alias feature.

As a bit of background, I am looking for a new VoIP provider for a circle of
about 20 family and friends. We have used FreeWorldDialup in the past, and
even paid for membership in 2008, but their service has been appalling
lately. We all use Handytone 286/386/486 ATAs, and we would like to keep
using them. Most of these people are non-technical users and they would have
a hard time using a soft phone; besides, they are not in the habit of
keeping their computers on 24/7. Me and my brother took the time to set up
and configure all these ATAs.

Now we would love to switch to ekiga.net (we have been free software fans
for many years), but to do so, we need numerical aliases in order to
continue using ATAs and regular phones.

There are several advantages to using an ATA over a soft phone: there is no
need to keep the computer up 24/7, we can use any phone we like (e.g. a
cordless one or an answering machine) etc. Please, bring back numeric
aliases!

Cheers,
Catalin
