Apply the same scenario above > but elliminate the PC2 such as: > i think this would be easier if you just had a company that could terminate all international calls since you would have to have a gw in every country unless you only want to send to 1 country. the problem with your last part is that lets say they pick an extension for UK. so they dial 1000 for UK, after that if you have a gateway with FXO connected to telephone system in UK all they will get is dial tone, then they must dial a phone number as if they are located in UK, no country code but just a number. if they dial outside the city, this is another number to dial. it would be easier for them to dial this local phone number, enter country code and phone number and just place call to destination. international rates vary by country so you would have to have complex rate tables and a billing system to calculate costs. i use a billing system from datatech labs and this can do this for you. then you must decide how you will accept payment from your customer, either up front (debit card) or at end of month (post paid), again the datatech billing system can do this for you. i know this is not a simple answer but i do this function every day as part of my business and use gnugk, welltech gateways and the datatech labs billing system to accomplish this, works great. i love HCM city very much. my dream is to retire and live there. i have many very good friends there. have been to hanoi also. wonderful country. best regards ray ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
