I meant WRT a possible influx of interested users, but maybe there
will be. They'll all be Mac owners though...

I meant people interested in asterix, not cid spoofing, obviously :)

Oh my, TWO hits in one post! Where's my hash pipe? Dude... you know the truth!

Yup, well, asterisk isn't really for the suits reading PC Mag, is it?
It needs to be taken up by those that deal with the suits though if it
wants to grow that much, which, I for one would regret. 

I think we all would like to see our heros *richly* rewarded for their
pioneering
work in voIP - yet - wouldn't we all *hate* to for it to become too
mainstream?

What if you didn't have to try a bunch of providers and interface
cards and mobos and distros and releases and dialplans anymore? What
if it just worked perfectly every time and never needed tweeking.

BUMMER! I'm comin' down!
