Re: [SLUG] OT: WLAN VoIP phone

Ahhhhhhhhh. Now I see! The old 
"hide-the-goodies-from-the-missus" trick, huh?

Maybe get a stuffed wombat and hide 'em in there??

;))

I was considering iinet, but in the end the total 
savings of nudeDSL and the possible buggerising 
around was not enough to convince me.

To take up the VOIP option I ended up with a 
mynetfone adapter instead (DECLARATION: I have no 
shares and no 'interest' in mynetfone :)) and 
that's cut my bill considerably.

Regards,

Patrick
