Voicepulse Connect doesn't support CallerID with Name. Supposedly they 
plan on adding it but if/when they do it will probably be an optional 
feature that carries an extra fee.

I'm still not convinced that inbound DTMF works properly over IAX with 
VoicePulse. You might want to exercise that capability to see if one 
gives you better performance over the other and report back here. 
Supposedly, they know they have a problem with DTMF (and at least when 
combined with IAX) and that they need to upgrade software. Who knows 
what the exact problem is and whether or not they upgrade has been 
made. They don't like to keep customers informed of technical problems 
and progress in fixing them.

Also, I've had not luck faxing out from Voicepulse, at least when I'm 
using trunk mode.
