Subject: [SLUG] voip overview, please
I was wondering if someone could give me an overview of voip in a plain
english, non-sales pitch type of way....
I'm sick of paying Verizon $30 a month, I would love to try something
like Asterisk, but don't know if Asterisk is right for my simple
needs/implementation. Let me say that I was one of the original Dialpad
users, and I used the heck out of it... I loved it! It allowed me to
call my fiance who was at school several times a day without paying long
distance. I would like to have that capablility again, and I hear the
sound quality is much better these days!
Is Asterisk good for a simple home installation? I just want outbound
calling. I don't want to buy a bunch of hardware. I have a couple of
PCs I can dedicate. Sorry if I'm showing my ignorance, but did I read
somewhere that I can use analog phone equipment??
Any enlightenment would be appreciated. Thanks.
