sip.fastvoip.com resolves to a different address than the Betamax domains,
(but it's interesting that it's in the form SIP DOT etc.)
Also the username database is common to the Betamax brands, by that
I mean if you register wibble on smartvoip and try to register the same name
on smslisto it won't let you.
Fastvoip does appears to have a separate username database,
it also requires at least 6 characters in the password, the others require fewer, four I think.
No mention of Ferrania when you run the softphone installer,
in fact, some of the DLLs are by Nokia.
