  hey..
 just wondering if anyone has any experience with or recommendations for providers of
something like the SkypeIN service (eg, POTS network users can call you) but supporting
IAX/SIP/whatever protocols are usable in the latest groovy gtk/jack-compatible VOIP
apps...(ok, im assuming those exist)..
 thanks,c 
I'm using sipgate.co.uk for a few numbers, and gossiptel for my outgoing
calls.  They work pretty well.  There's also 
voipuser.org who provide
non-geographic numbers and allow limited free outgoing calls.
