I second that.  The Nikotel folks have been very nice, and I did get
the free phone.  I'm posting my Nikotel config below for anyone who
wants it.  It works, but there is a slight (2-second?) delay in
passing audio, so I sometimes don't hear the first "Hello" from a
called party.

Right now, wholesale.voicepulse.com has the same pre-paid Domestic US
rates ($0.03), a small $10.00 minimum, no monthly fee, and best of
all: IAX support.  I'm getting faster connections with voicepulse IAX
than Nikotel SIP, but I could be doing something wrong.
