Be cautious about XO if you want to allow people to have physical phones at each end, such as for a calling card service or similar. XO has in the past marked their US traffic ESP to save money, but this requires that one end at least be voip. They require an "indemnify and hold harmless" agreement in the contract, where if you do have physical phones on both ends of a single call, you can be on the hook for any fines they are assessed and their legal costs relating to that. If you arent I dont know how many carriers do this, only that they do at least some of the time. So be sure that you understand what you are agreeing to. This is one of the reasons that vonage for example has in their contract that you cannot hook your ATA up to a pbx or anything that might bridge to a real phone. You can get lower per minute rates but the service becomes less suitable for all users. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
