I'm looking for my first DID carrier - found lots of them, but no wiki page on what to look for. One of the details I've realized that not every provider can let me transfer a local number. An other details may have to do with what information is provided when a call comes in and in what format? As I'm just getting started I figure there are other details I should be looking for, but don't know about. Instead of recommending particular providers ( likely to cause political problems - but I'm glad for the information from Avi above --but I don't know what he means by "they require manual setup"). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail Karl@xtronics.com Transtronics, Inc.
