[Asterisk-Users] Primustel a.k.a. Lingo $20/month unlimited service

[Philippe Daoust]

If it's the same service that they offer up here in Canada it's MGCP based.
I'd be interested to know if * can work with this (I assume it should but I
have never tried it).  The unit they sent me is the same D-Link.  It's
HUGE!!!  The largest ATA I have ever seen...

BTW, Primus has been offering this service in Canada for about 2-3 months
now (called "Talk Broadband" here).
