Re: [OT] BT Revelation manual

["Matthew Miles" <m_miles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nigel,

actually its more like 'apprentice scum' these days... lol. Still 3
years of training etc.  I went for the revelation simply because it
was cheaper and easier to set up (I hope!).  I'm not very good at
linux.  I plan to use my landline as exch. line 1 and a Vonage VoIP
box As Exch. line 2.

I'm sure I will have more questions when I take delivery of the box
and turn it on!

Thanks for your help so far!

Matt
