Marshall,

   Firstly, when replying to the list please do not include the entire 
digest.  It is kinda pointless and annoying.  Now to your question:

eNum is a method of mapping e164 numbers (phone numbers) to internet 
resources (SIP/IAX Url, eMail ) via the existing internet Domain Name 
System (DNS). 

Advantages:
     No need for platform development,  Any Linux box running bind will do.
     Heirachrical Structure.  sub-zones  (area codes, and exchanges) can 
be offset to other systems and reduce administration of the root system.
     
    
Disadvantages:
     setup can be a bit complex and requires detailed planning.  A good 
DNS Guru would be well worth knowing.
     Not really intended for small scale (like driving a MAC truck to 
the corner store for a quart of milk)

I'm not entirely sure how to use eNum (exclusively) as a internet call 
business.  Its a tool not a business plan.  That's like building an 
entire business model around a hammer or screwdriver.
