[Asterisk-Users] Internet-to-phone gateway?

[Carl Youngblood]

Okay, I'm an asterisk newbie, so forgive me if this is really obvious, 
but I'm wondering if there are services out that would let me simply 
hook up an asterisk server to the internet and make as many outbound 
calls as I wanted to for a monthly fee of some sort.  In other words, I 
just have a server with an internet connection and someone else 
provides the internet-to-phone gateway.  Come to think of it, would 
asterisk even be needed for this kind of a solution?  Does anybody do 
this?

Thanks,
