I just put a space in my killfile for him until such time as he learns
English. I had assumed he was about 11, but he revealed that he was
somewhat older. It seems that education standards weren't very good in
the 50s either

The wholesale cost to Sipgate for a number is surprisingly high. They
seem to be giving the numbers away and hiking the call prices to cover
the cost. This doesn't look to be good business sense given that one
can easily avoid Sipgate's call prices by using 1899 instead.

01738 down, at the mo'... Just jotted down a message for them - a
little bit harsh - let me see if it gets a reply...
If this happens another single time, I'm goin' away from SipGate, I

My Grandstream 486 can't log onto the server at the moment, tried
rebooting, red light flashing continuously.
