I played around with it; worked fairly well, although I preferred Vonage. The basic voice quality for both services was about the same. Things Vonage offered that Packet8 didn't: - Localized area codes, IE, 952 instead of 612. - Voicemail that I can access online (play .wav files), and can also e-mail me a .wav file. - Quasi-911 service (not super important, but nice.) - Virtual phone numbers, so my sister-in-law can call from Tacoma for free - Call waiting (not of huge importance again) - Fax line for $10/mo, if I ever decide I need it If you don't care about any of the above, by all means, go Packet8. :) -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
