[Cialug] Freese Notis has VOIP aka IowaTalk.com

[Jon Clemons]

We have been doing VOIP but basically inhouse and between DWX's location and 
mine.
We are not selling VOIP right now. I refuse to sell it until there is a good 
clean workable
911 service. From what I just read this week it looks like real 911 service 
is going to
be mandated by the FCC for VOIP providers.
