[asterisk-biz] PBX Hosting -- what VOIP company

[Alistair Cunningham]

Rob,

It sounds like yo need both software (for billing etc) and services (for 
PSTN access)? If so, this is a common scenario and the way many 
companies getting into the VoIP market work. My previous email on 
Enswitch is applicable; take a look and if you think it would be useful, 
or if you have any questions, please contact me off list and we can 
discuss system sizing and pricing.

By the way, where are you and your customers located? This will affect 
the options open to you for PSTN service providers.
