I have some rackspace at a datacenter and I would like to try setting up a configuration enabeling me to make VoIP to PSTN calls and vice versa.
This is (atleast initially) just for testing purposes - but what hardware do I need at the datacenter in order to make this possible? Can it be done with just opensource technology? How can I obtain a phone number that is publically available from PSTN?
what you seek is exactly excepted from and ebay listing!
