One must take first impressions from something, and if that happens to be 
your answering machine...

Unfortunately, yes.

Seriously folks, NuFone has very reasonable prices, easy setup and decent 
tech support (or so I've heard - I haven't had any problems with them so 
far). I urge you to give NuFone a try, if only because (one of?) their big 
cheeses reads the * mailing list :) I recently checked out the competition, 
and here's what I found:

NuFone: cool first impression, good second impression, good implementation
Deltathree: good first impression, poor second impression
Net2Phone: good first impression, excellent second impression, cool third 
impression
Vonage: cool first impression, cool second impression

In all cases I was evaluating for price, compatibility with * and ease of 
use/ease of billing. Of course, I had specific uses in minds, specific 
hardware, and my own company's cost structure in mind, so your mileage may 
vary.
