I can't really talk about things and in any event I don't known anything anyway :-) I'm just a lowly grunt. >> U don't need to get numbers from incumbents etc. The nice thing >> about VoIP is u don't need separate numbers you can have multiple >> channels per "trunk" > I'm basically a CLEC consultant.

If you have a circuit already you can do VoIP and if it's on an MPLS (private network) you can have QOS etc. Voip.ms and vitelity are two of many VoIP providers of SIP and/or IAX trunks. Voip.ms even has multiple sip servers around the country to minimize latency. > Of course PRI gives you lots of channels per trunk too. It's very > flexible. It just doesn't share a pipe with data. So mixed > voice-data EELs usually aren't PRI. EEL? Yeah on the PRIs but I'm a believer in VoIP instead of TDM. > But it is possible to run PRIs on Asterisk. In an Ed McMahon voice, " That is correct sir..." but getting the interface cards are potentially expensive whereas the others (SIP devices, ATAs, etc) are relatively inexpensive on the low end.
