"It's all fun and games until someone loses a week's salary."

Accidental misconfig can be VERY expensive. For example: someone decides 
to allow "free" 800# calls. Someone then calls 800-CALL-ATT and places 
repeated OPERATOR ASSISTED calls to Nepal. Even with a 30 minute limit, 
that is VERY expensive.

I can call Paris for $0.0145/min ($0.86/HOUR) [voipjet]. Why should I 
risk hundreds or thousands of dollars?

Plus, configuring * for an IAX service provider requires LESS skill than 
configuring BELLSTER.

I love the concept of Bellster, but (IMHO) the risks don't justify the 
benefits.

cheers,
