Online Bug Day?

[Ron Swift]

I have been using PBX in a flash at work with remote extensions at home. 
Most soft and hard SIP phones work with it although I have not worked 
with Ekiga. Conference calling is one of many options. It does require a 
SIP provider to convert VOIP calls to land and cell.
Thanks
