Hi, Eventually I did not went with 018, as they have the ugliest support I ever seen - they don't reply on emails. I asked twice from them to send oraat keva blank, and got nothing. The broken "שלך" button on "צור קשר" page (under firefox) did not help either: http://www.018.co.il/contactus.asp
Now I am looking in direction of 012 and have couple of questions to actual users of theirs voip service with Linux (if there are any): http://www.012.net.il/sales.aspx?docID=8639&FolderID=1005&lang=he&tabn=0 - Does the line management site (http://072web.net) works from firefox? - Do they provide SIP credentials, or are these hidden in the hw sip adapter they provide? - Can Asterisk be used with the service? Thank you in advance! -- Arie On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 03:01, e2xbegqsdyt21hfc <[email protected]>wrote: > > I don't know the technical details or 018. > I do know that 012 provides you with a sip adapter that is plugged between > the bezeq/hot modem and your PC/ordinary phone.
