[Asterisk-Users] SIP VoIP to PSTN provider who allows multiple outbound calls?
IConnecthere is great, but I'm looking for something that allows multiple outbound calls (not a plethora, but a few would be nice). It makes no sense to me to restrict number of simultaneous calls, because you are paying for the minutes you use, but I guess that is company policy there. Anyone aware of another solution? -- William Walsh <william at wxw.org> Jabber: william at wxw.biz

It also probably has something to do with scheduling of assets, if 10% of their users used 2 lines at a time and called in the early evening just after the US work day was over, then they may well have to spend a lot more money on lines even if the minutes didn't change. I don't mean to defend them, but I do see what could be an economic problem since they are trying to compete by being cheaper.> Anyone aware of another solution?A wonderful boss like mine who lets me piggy back out the company asterisk machine? Our office has 12 lines, and I get to use what is free whenever. I have had 3 calls up across my Comcast cable modem without any problems. -- Steven Critchfield <critch at basesys.com>
