recommendation</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>So you want another company to manage the TDM -> SIP
conversion but you still want to be in charge of the trunks.<BR><BR>I think
probably your best bet is to find a managed co-location provider -- you obtain
the TDM trunks and they will manage the servers and SIP or whatnot. I am sure
such a thing exsists but you will have to search for someone that is
very knowledgeable and pick them with care. <BR><BR>Besides that, I can
recommend ISPhone -- <A href="http://www.isphone.net">www.isphone.net</A> --
we have been using them for a while and never had a problem, always friendly
to deal with and I can't really recall having an open service issue beyond
24hrs. <BR><BR><BR>

of these numbers and not 'Port' them somewhere<BR>if possible.<BR>I'd be
willing to relocate these T1's to the 'host' but what I was<BR>hoping for is
to<BR>find a Carrier that could deliver these calls directly using a company
<BR>such as Qwest or GBX,<BR>thus removing the 'middle man'.<BR><BR>And
frankly, it's hard to trust many of the 800 voip Providers I find on<BR>the

could accomplish my goals?
