Non expert reply: Yes it will do what you want. You do not need to pay for the DID. "Iconecthere" will let you make as many outbound calls as you want for a flat 2.5 cents per minute plus a small monthly fee. Higher monthly fees buy you prepaid "free" minutes. That $8.00 allows _inbound_ calls from PSTN, not needed for outbound calls
I can make multiple outbound calls at the same time BUT my DSL bandwidt quickly maxes out. (I'm testing with home ADSL) and things go bad quickly. With a good megabit level line OR if you move your Asterisk server to a "co-location facitity" and use their 100Mb/s connections you could make MANY outbound calls at once. --- Carl Youngblood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Next get a VOIP service provider to provide you with a PSTN DID > > (A phone number) VoicePulse will do this for about $8.00/month > > pluss outgoing per minute cost.
