not need to pay for the DID. "Iconecthere" will let you

buy you prepaid "free" minutes. That $8.00 allows _inbound_
calls from PSTN, not needed for outbound calls


Do you know if I can have my calls show up as any caller ID string that I want?

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.


What about the G.729 codec? From what I've heard it allows you to stuff an analog call into 8 Kbps. This would give you a theoretical maximum of 80 simultaneous connections on a 640 Kbps DSL line. I would expect this to be much lower in practice, say 20 simultaneous streams, but still, that's not bad.
