Who do you go through for your VOIP? I tried Vonage and Voiply. They both locked out the ATA and didn't let me change settings how I need to. I can
get a refund from Voiply, but this is about $120 out of my pocket so far
trying to get this to work...

I use voip.ms with an unlocked Cisco ATA. Only $0.85 per month for a phone number and less than 1 cent per minute for usage.

You can get a $10 credit with my referral link: https://voip.ms/en/invite/MTI0NDc1

Is it still that price? I'm on from a Commodore atm so don't have a good browser handy, but I tried typing your referral link into my phone. It doesn't say it accepted a referral or anything, so maybe I didn't type in the correct code, but it takes me to the main page that says starting at $1.10/month. Yeah, it's not a big difference, but I'm just wondering if they raised the rates or is that sum the $0.85 plus something else?

I just checked my latest voip.ms bill. I have two lines with them. One I pay $1.10 a month + $0.009 a min and another I pay the flat fee of $4.95 a month.

I'm thinking of swapping the $4.95 one over as I'm never going to use enough minutes to really warrant paying $4.95/month

It's possible they raised their cheaper plan prices recently. I only started the 2nd line in May.

Looks like they did raise their prices, each DID is now $1.10 /mo.

No, that time is the time you picked it up, not the time I got it.

I'm fixing that too... :)

If you log into clrghouz, head to packets and files sent (under your BBS), and click on a packet, you'll get details of what was in it. When you click on the msgid, you'll see the message, and at the bottom it'll tell you when I received it and when it was sent to you.

Weird. I know my netmail is working... I'm using direct, so your binkdaemon needs to accept unauthorized connections... I sent to both your full name

Yeah, I had between.bat running, but it wasn't running as admin, so it never actually ran the fastecho commands (which recently stopped running on my

Yeah, I just ran a couple of commands on fastecho that sent out echomail that was pretty ancient... I'm really not sure why it was just sitting there...
