I'm trying to refresh my memory about some of the things Lori talked about last time we had a VoIP/Asterisk presentation.<br>
<br>
To start with, what is the general name of the service (for Googling) that gives you a POTS to VoIP bridge, and forwards the calls to your Asterisk box? That is to say, you are essentially buying a phone number. I seem to recall that this service was available for significantly less than the cost of a landline.<br>
