I wholeheartedly agree with that comment, emoci.

That's very true. Betamax is a nice-to-have and the speech quality is good but its business model is such that you take your chances on any consistency of operation.

I'm coming to the conclusion that if I want the convenience of using functions such as the callthrough to Voxalot over the PSTN using PBXes (that you mentioned in a previous post) I should be prepared to route the final leg of the setup through a provider that I can rely on. And if that means spending a penny or so a minute, so be it.

Having said that, much of the fun of being a VoIP tinkerer is discovering these tricks and tweaks and having such support and guidance from people such as yourself and Voxalot. On the way we learn what works and what doesn't - and what is worth paying for (and what isn't!)
