There are a dozen services out there that can do this far more efficiently and for a lot less money. You will be using bandwidth in both directions and double the channels (one call in, forwarded call out). It will increase the latency by a lot and the chance of call quality problems is huge. Call in over a cheap cable connection, call out on the same, then over a cell. Concurrent ringing with cells is popular and makes a lot of sense since you primarily typically answer on the desk phone. If it's just forwarding, then just use a forwarding service which will cost less and not introduce the extra cable network layer. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003
