[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk to Vonage

[Doug Shubert]

ok.. could we add a 'hunt group' to * and roll incoming calls over to 
several extensions?

We also signed up with the Broadvoice 'BYOD' $19.95 service just in the 
past week
and found the service to work extremely well with Asterisk. I also 
updated the * server to 1.0-RC2
before testing it.
