Can I use this type of service for outbound dialing without any SIP 
phones?  I just want to have a server that sends voice messages to our 
customers.  And if so, what part of asterisk do I want to examine to 
develop this?  It would be great to write an outbound dialer that 
didn't require any specialized hardware.  Does a service like this let 
you make more than one phone call simultaneously, or must you pay an 
additional $8.00 for each line that gets used at the same time?  Sorry 
if these questions are stupid but I'm new to asterisk.

Thanks,
