Thanks for the answer. Is this PSTN gateway is something for a VoIP 
company to setup in order to connect their VoIP calls to the Telco's 
PSTN then to the end phone? I don't think Australia treat this as 
illegal. But I m not sure how much the Telco will charge from IP PAX (or 
PSTN) gateway to end phone. Assuming that there are 1000 VoIP calls thru 
Telco's PSTN to end phones, how will these  calls get calculated? is the 
charge will be per-call basis?

thanks
