Folks, thank you for answering my questions for hosting and VOIP. I for sure didn't like AT&T, Verizon, nor Vonage. Vonage is into pressure sales, but that doesn't bother me all that much, they couldn't offer me an exchange that wasn't ld from my location, but again not a big deal, but the thing that really clinched it was well no I lied its two things, but one is the topper of all. First the fact I couldn't provide my own adapter annoyed me, but the real looloo was they provided two different sotries and I call them lies. First one gal said there were no taxes and I could cancel in the first 6 months, first 4 months or whatever and there was no fees etc. Well the fact from another gal is that not only is their a setup fee wich if you took the unlimited plan $40.84, you did pay taxes, and if you canceled in the first 12 months, there's a disconnection fee of about $40 and you have to return the adapter. I was so pist that I got the two different sotries and what really added to this is the fact that if you act now, they'll enroll you, yes enroll you for the 30-day money back guarantee. Now how's that for a kicker. I really think its one thng to get the facts up front, but quite another to get wholey different stories and if I had gone with the first gal and ordered, I'd have gotten quite a shock. So Asterisk or other vendor is what I'll look into. I just want to figure out how to wire my house so all outlets for phones are included. I have a cordless phone system with two sets, but may just have to get another so I have them in the rooms I need instead of trying to rewire the place. tnx Scott
