I'm having it forward to a pop in the UK and a couple friends have done 
some test calls.  1st call I can't even describe what was wrong.  
(Vonage customer)  (They could hear me crystal clear, but my end was 
totally garbled.) I called them back and my route was great. 2nd test 
was also a Vonage customer, but besides a little digitization it was 
fine.  It'll be for light business use and one bad phone call is one too 
many....

Side note: David from Teliax emailed me and iirc there have been good 
things said about Teliax.  Besides having someone to call and yell at if 
my DID is down is there anything else I might be missing?  I'm thinking 
the 2.5 cents inbound is well worth the sleep at night... Feedback? 
(Could this number be ported away if an issue ever comes up?? I'm 
thinking the simple answer is no.)

Cheers,
