Well I already have VoIP service thought Lingo (www.lingo.com), but no
real idea how I would forward the calls to my computer (though I'm going
though my features now). I think it would be great to be able to access
a list of who called from a website, or send and receive faxes from my
computer (btw can these be in color?). So if VoIP service is the only
thing I need I should try to install asterisk soon.
