[Cialug] VoIP

[Tom Pohl]

If you mean asterisk (http://www.asterisk.org), no you don't need a 
regular phone line!  There are services like vonage or voice pulse that 
can integrate a DiD over the internet to your local pbx (asterisk) 
server from which you can do lots of neat stuff!

Voice Pulse's connect service is pretty slick 
(http://connect.voicepulse.com) and supports several lower bandwidth 
CODECs.  I prefer GSM in case anyone is interested.
