[VoIP] FW: Seattle Museum?

[chuck richards]

Thank you for that detailed response.

Yes, it definitely does matter!

I really want to try it.  However seeing as how I am not
connected in any way to CNET, the only possible method that
I can use to access CNET is from the PSTN via one of the
"inbound CNET portals".

So far in all of my previous attempts to access CNET by the 
above mentioned method resulted in audio connections that
were (shall we say)...  "non-continuous".

But there actually WAS some audio.  Some bits of it.

So, sometime real soon, I'll try it again and hopefully
be able to access some of the really great old equipment
at the Seattle museum.

Keep up all of the great work gentlemen!

Chuck Richards
