[Asterisk-Users] Can Asterisk do the following for me ?

[asterisk at top-consulting.net]

Excellent news!

Now, remember that I am in Europe and out of my Linksys VoIP router I have a
phone line coming out which I believe is North American standard.

I am really not knowledgeable enough about the differences in both Networks so
do I need a special card for Europe ?

Otherwise, I'm set to purchase 2 X100P cards!
