That's fair comment but I think FWD should have put a correct message on 
their system for asterisk users.  It wouldn't have taken much effort.

FWD and * complement each other and should benefit from each other's 
success.  Indeed * is cited on the FWD web site and mentioned by Jeff 
Pulver at his VON events.  It seems a little unfortunate that FWD is 
assuming all * systems are a front for hundreds of users and banning them.
