[OT] VoIP recommendations

[Simon P. Ditner]

Quickest route to getting started:

- Download the EZ-Bake style linux & asterisk PBX distro from
  trixbox.org, or if you prefer to roll your own PBX from scratch, check
  out asterisk.org, and experiment with some softphones first (see
  voip-info.org for a list)

- Get VoIP service from unlimitel.ca, and/or atlasvoice.com. They're both
  Ontario based, excellent customer support, and open source friendly.

- Pick up some VoIP phones, or adapters from voipdepot.ca (based in
  Brampton, really fast shipping)

- You'll find voip-info.org to be an invaluable reference for examples
  and explanations.

- Join the taug.ca mailing list, we live to answer these sorts of
  questions ^_^

Cheers,
spd
