No phone or numbers involved, at least to the clicker. The problem is, the only people who will be able to use that link are geeks that have a headset/mic on their computer. Most normal people don't have those devices, and even if they did, they feel much more comfortable with the concept of making phone calls using a telephone. We all often forget that the vast majority of the outside world is not technically-inclined in any way, and that unless your web site is only targetted towards computer geeks, you're creating a huge barrier for the average customer. Everyone has a phone, though. If the analog FXS adapter had not been created and reduced to an affordable price, VOIP would still only be about as popular today as it was in 1995. -- Nick _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
