I will be looking into Asterisk very shortly as my company will no
longer pay for my home office phone line. I have Vonage now and like
it, but it costs more than I use. I'm thinking of going with VoicePulse
for the long distance/phone service.
Have you looked at the actual digium cards? They sell for about $140,
but are supposed to be the best out there.
