ok all for open source and the approach - however i thought to get the actual
system u and running a free servie taht emails the files to the server would be
a good first step - allow all the other elemens to be sorted first - the actual
elepone nbr i would have thought is relatvely easy to change.

perhaps the bit other than the pbx system is the easy bit? might be good to get
that going first? or is that already sorted using the tools youve mentioned in
your blog?
