While it isn't a free option, using chan_skype (license purchased from Digium) may be the easiest solution here. A lot of people know what Skype is, and may already have it installed, and instead of requiring your users to install a softphone, they could just click the "Call Me" link you provide. Alternatively, you could get a DID and allow people to call in the "old fashioned way". You'd have to pay for the interconnectivity, but if you use a SIP provider the costs should not be unreasonable (1-2 cents per minute). You could always look into using Google Talk as well :) Leif. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
