[Wylug-help] VOIP anybody?

I was about to mention asterix, along with bayonne - they both "appear" to have
had not much work on them recently, but actually have.  Bayonne has one
advantage : it'll run on non-linux boxen (bsd and eventually win32).

I'm about to play with both, but on an isdn basis rather than a voip basis, I'll
keep people posted and maybe do a talk (this time with slides -grin).
