Is there anyone else around in the states that will just give you a number like this without dealing with extra hardware without dealing with printing and filling out paper forms? The main technical issue I see with this is finding a cheap virtual server provider out there that supports the Zaptel stuff and/or has images like PBX In A Flash or Trixbox to just get it going quickly. It's probably better for education to learn it the manual way, but for something like this, I'd want access to a solution like you described hooked up to an unlimited outgoing for the US plan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tyler Littlefield" To: Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 1:46 PM Subject: configuring asterisk:cheap phone? > hello list, > I'm trying to figure out how I might be able to configure asterisk so that > it works as a calling card. > I'm not sure how much it would cost to do this, but here's my idea: > I need to be able to use a cell for a week or so when I go up to Maryland > for a camp.
