[Gloucs] SPA3102, SIP and Saynoto0870

[Glyn Davies]

If you read the spiel on the link I posted, the guy says he contacted
saynoto0870 and never received a response. An API to the database is a
really obvious thing to do so I guess the site owner isn't interested.

So, an asterisk script is one solution but that makes my plans for my
phone system more complicated. Basic plan was for the normal phone
plugging into an SPA3102 (see
http://www.aoakley.com/articles/2008-01-08.php). Nice solution as it
fails back to the landline if power or internet goes down.

Now, I would have to route 0870 calls to an Asterisk box (have a NSLU2
doing nothing so could do this).
Things would then get more complicated if no geographic number was
found, website was down, decided POTS was cheapest. It makes the
likelihood of all this being kept transparent to the users unlikely.
