<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe a dumb newbie question, but we all have to
start somewhere! :-)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just came across the open VoIP project at <A
href="http://www.vovida.org">www.vovida.org</A> (VOCAL). Is there any
relationship between this and the Asterisk project? It looks to me as if they
are building all the elements of an IP PBX at the protocol level, but they don't
have a PSTN interconnect through cards such as those from Digium and they don't
have a nice contained package that includes a fully functional PBX. Oddly, their
"Useful links" page doesn't list Asterisk.</FONT></DIV>
