Freebsd-users digest, Vol 1 #1823 - 3 msgs

[ed joyce]

Last time I looked at it I came to the conclusion that
FXO/FXS cards would not work on the public network in
the UK (I mean Digium ones - I don't know of any
others) I think its to do with a genuine
incompatability not lack of approval, I was thinking
just to get a SIP server up and running and bouncing a
call through TelAppliant. There has been quite a bit
of interest in a LondonBSD group. I will put a website
up and put the details on the list here so any one who
is interested can find out what is going on
