[Eug-lug] Local dial tone providers - Qwest alternatives?

[John Sechrest]

I wonder if anyone has considered using one of the VOIP solutions
for phones. I know someone in portland who has done this.

I don't remember the company, but they provide a VOIP gateway to 
the network and give you a regular phone number. 

This assumes you have a non-qwest network at home that is fast enough.

 % 	If you find a solution, please let us know.... Ive dealt with qwest/uswest 
 % for a long time, but not for a few years now. I hate them. Ive had awful 
 % problems in the past with them. Ive found that if you go with other local 
 % providers that it just ends up costing more so that qwest can still get thier 
 % cut. Im currently using a cell phone for my regular phone.
