I'm considering buying VOIP service. I've been reading about it. It's cool, both technically and politically (all the crap that comes from nearly a century of telecom regulation compared to the very different development of the internet (and end-to-end)). http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net/ http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/ My current setup is a cell phone, no landline but a dry DSL line (i.e., no dialtone, just IP). As a new Speakeasy subscriber (and, so far, happy enough with them), I'm considering their service. They basically provide me with a phone number and access to an asterisk server. By my computations, I should be able to reduce my cell phone plan enough that it should end up being cost-neutral to me when combined with being able to drop my international calling service. http://www.speakeasy.net/home/voip/ I'm curious what experiences others here have had. Any surprises that came along? Anything to watch out for? How do you feel about call quality? (I've talked with skype users who sound high latency, for example, but others who don't.) -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://jeff.purple.com/> +1 215/837-2287 GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
