[H-GEN] voip equipment & provider

[Tony Bilbrough]

G'day All,
I am going to try voip in the coming weeks, and see how it performs on a 
Telstra Cable connection.
Does any one have any preferences for the provider and hub?

At the moment suggestions are Net Comm gtv 300 [$160 from UMart], with 
Oz Tell the connector [at $4 a month].

But it was mooted by one, that the $86 model was more than sufficient 
for basic voip calls, while the Telstra twin pair copper line was still 
used/installed. Is that correct?

Phone voip links will be to France, Spain and South Africa, mainly.

The workstation o/s are Xandros 3 and Debian Sarge

Do any of you have alternative or additional suggestions? I would really 
appreciate your points of view here.

Happy New Year to all of you,
Tony
