If you are open to suggestions on other  phone systems, I have been very
much enjoying my gizmo account.  (gizmoproject.com)  I generally use ekiga
to connect to it, but the benefit of gizmo is that it uses the standard SIP
protocol for accessing the service.  Further, the rates are quite good.  For
free it gives services like incoming phone calls, voice mail, and free
SIP<->SIP calls.  For a $.01/minute (for US numbers) fee it gives outgoing
to-landline calls.  Don't mean to sound like an advertisement, I just love
open standards being used.
