[TriLUG] asterisk question

[Matt Pusateri]

Greg,

I believe all that you are asking for is possible with Asterisk,  
unfortunately I've been away from asterisk long enough that I can't  
tell you how to do this off the top of my head.   It will have to do  
with your dial plans, but restricting where you can call and provider  
failover is all very easily doable.

Also I believe there are a other voip servers that are gaining good  
ground as opposed to Asterisk, OpenPBX, SIPex, and, Freeswitch I think.
