Re: [Asterisk-Users] Hi Newbie question
Thank you all for the quick and straightforward response I was looking out for. Ed, I am an Indian and have parents and friends in India. So that is the country that I would like to call to. But let me tell you that although I am al linux geek and can get some or more work done with it without swetting, this is my first venture in the telecom field. Hence I am sorry to say that I didnt quite follow what is mean by "VOIP termination" or DID's. To clarify another question that the group may have, I need to call on landlines or Cell phones. My parents are not computer savy people :) If I could get a howto for the hardawre & software & steps required to get this working, it would be great. If there is no such documentation, then I can with the help of the group work out and then document the procedure for the group. Thanks for all your help.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Hi Newbie question
How does he get his offshore relatives into FWD? Nobody said that they have broadband. Just telephones. --On Saturday, February 19, 2005 3:15 PM -0600 Rich Adamson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Or, he could just sign both ends up with FWD and not have to mess with this *. Yes, but he can buy overseas VOIP temination a heck of a lot cheaper than just calling overseas from Nebraska. He may also be able to start overseas DIDs that route to his box here in the states.

Yes, but he can buy overseas VOIP temination a heck of a lot cheaper than just calling overseas from Nebraska. He may also be able to start overseas DIDs that route to his box here in the states.
