Mr. Lyman,

    It is just seems quite funny that this user experienced the exact 
same thing that I did when I tried to setup a NuFone account. I would 
like to see THAT be a user issue, this is a problem with NuFone and 
their provisioning and customer support process. I have accounts at four 
other IAX providers and have no problem with any of them other than the 
one account I wanted at NuFone. Also it seems that I am not the only 
user that has had problems. I am not on a rampage against NuFone, people 
just need to know what they are getting their selves into. There may be 
some happy customers and their may be some unhappy customers.
