(Note that in another email, Sammy mentions that it works but some 
features don't).

It looks like Xen would therefore be needed?

For the kind of setup I want (similar to what Arik described in his 
first email), no one offers that at all, let alone at $25. The most 
important feature being accessible from ANY phone (e.g., us mobile to il 
mobile at local prices, and the other way around, without having any 
predefined list of destination on any side) without any FXO/FXS or other 
equipment needed.

But it's not about the money -- primarily, it is because I _want_ to 
tinker with Asterisk in the process, and trying to minimize the budget 
at the same time just adds a little spice.

Thanks,
Ori.
