In fact I don't have any dev tools in my machine and I doubt they will run with only 64MB of RAM.

Viopjet claim that they are not to be used by end users, and I simply ignore that. So far I haven't asked for support and haven't gotten any. They have the occasional downtime, if you use a DNS name for the host and not an IP you will usually not feel it because they change DNS records to compensate. You have to have more than $20 in your account at all times or else you can't use most of their servers. > - didww.com is competitive on DIDs ($3/month for 077- number in IL, > $10/month for 03- number, $2/month US number), but other such as > diamondcard.us provide same prices, and also do termination (although > not as cheaply as grnvoip or voipjet). I use didww.com. I did not check out any others. I have a number in the US, in Israel and in Australia. I used to have a number in France but some stupid French decided to limit VoIP numbers to the physical region they seem to be from, so lacking an address in Paris I had to give that number up. > - Any positive or negative experiences routing SMS between those > systems? Didn't try it, I have no idea if it will be successful. I know Nir Simionovich and Oded Arbel have messed around with SMS quite a bit, and I think they are both on the list. > Does anyone have experience, specific software versions and/or configuration > scripts to share with regards to such a setup? I can share my extensions.conf with you if you want. -- Arik _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
