VoicePulse--- If I get 2
simultaneous calls? 

 For one local number from voicepulse, is it possible to get 
simultaneous incoming calls?

Thanks Michael,  VoicePulse does have local number, so I just
provisioned
one :)

Now I am setting it up, no problem so far, the next question is.  If I
get 2
simultaneous calls on my inbound will one ring busy or will asterisk
handle
this for me?  I would like to be able to receive multiple simultaneous
calls
if possible for an application I am developing.

Also, I assume to go through my router (NAT) I just need to open up the
one
port, 5036, right?

Whopee!  I can give Vonage it's device and high prices back soon :)  Too
bad
they couldn't play nice and allow other devices on their service.
