Internetworkers: http://www.ibiblio.org/internetworkers/

[Michael Czeiszperger <michael AT czeiszperger.org>]

I recently switched my small business to a local VOIP provider 
FeatureTel from BellSouth, and wanted to recommend them to the 
internetworkers list.  I was able to move from 3 direct lines to 5 
lines plus adding an automated attendant and a several virtual 
mailboxes, and its cutting my phone costs in half. The new phone system 
is incredibly flexible in terms of features; there's no way I could 
have afforded this with a traditional land line phone system, and the 
features weren't even offered by the likes of Vonage and Packet8.

The folks at FeatureTel are experienced local technical folks who were 
in the same position as many of us, i.e. laid off during the "bad 
times" a couple of years ago, and you've probably seen them around at 
local user groups like the LUG. This is a chance to get a great phone 
service and keep the business in the neighborhood.

The one thing I would caution is they've gotten really busy through 
word of mouth and it could take weeks to get you hooked up, and they 
don't have much of a web presence. You can call Joy Currens at 459-2307 
for more information.
