Thanks for your reply, and I apologize for not being clear. What I'd like to
ask is if is there anybody in this list that can provide a 900 number to my
asterisk box.

These numbers are similar to Toll free numbers - they go to a specified
carrier where they are redirected to a DID provided by you (or your
company). You can buy them from just about any major carrier.
Here is the first hit I got off Google (use it and the world is yours!)

Note: Calls that cost more than $2 are legally required to warn folks
about these chargesat the beginning of the call (before any charge).
Callers should be allowed the opportunity to hang up without being
charged.
I know my previous reply "You can find lots of 900 numbers in certain
magazines." was not very helpful. I was actually intending to add a few
lines but got involved in a long phone call so I decided to send that
and send more later.
I did engineering work for a company that had major colo at an AT&T pop.
They were a service bureau. My understanding was that they charged a lot
less for someone to get started but got a better share of the revenue
when you compared their plan to dealing directly with AT&T. The
requirements for dealing directly with a major carrier will be quite
different. The type of service you intend to provide is an important
factor. Some categories have much higher percentages of disputed
charges. Back in the days when computer BBS was the primary reason to
buy a modem I looked into pay per call possibilities. It didn't pay well
and the risks were too great. From what they told me, there could be all
kinds of collection problems and little recourse available to me.
