I agree that using a home phone could be a pain in the middle of the night
but I have an available POTS line off my T1 so I made it available for local
calls to the 614 area code!

that'd be the end of me sharing the line with anybody.  I can't think of a
way that I would explain Bellster to a non-geek in a way that makes them
comfortable.

Made me laugh at least :)

Another small point is that a lot of countries don't have flat rate
calls, and I highly doubt anyone in those countries would be offering
their land lines for this kind of service either. It costs me between 20
and 30c per call to make local calls, so this basically only leaves
North American and New Zealand as the only viable options that I know of.
