Trixter,<br><br>Can you share with me how you looked that information up? Here is were I'm getting lost I guess, if I bought a PRI from SBC and it came with 99 DID numbers, I could resale those DIDs to my clients, but I would have to have a a Asterisk server connected to the PRI and a high quality Internet connection between clients and my server. But that does not seem to make any sense to me when I compare that to what ITSP's are doing, they don't have servers or switches in all these locations do they?
