Does spam regard too many of the etiquettes of posting?

Even more annoying than spam though, is people who reply to it when
they have inferior spam filters.

I reckon that it is because he hasn't calculated the power consumption
himself but just copied the data from a US web site.
I agree with the sentiment though, basically he's saying if you need
to have a computer switched on to make a call then it costs you in
electricity charges - over £60/year for a 70W computer, running
without a monitor, 24/7.

Remove 'no_spam_' from email address.

Quite, I ran an *@Home box for about a year. Now the novelty
has worn off I can't justify the running costs, so now Voxalot
hosts my accounts for free.

Absolutely. On a couple of forums I've read somebody else's elaborate
description of setting up his own callback platform on a PC running
all the time, to call in from a mobile, and then make outgoing calls.

I really couldn't see the point, as the same rates could be obtained
without having any hardware at all

ITS ... USB powered voip adapters.. so this is a voip groupand some
folks are buying aapter that use way more power $$ then they can save
using the cheapper calling schees. The combine-a-line does not use
externa power and of course does not need a USB port, which is connected
to a pc sucking > 400 watts.

Brain,

while the calculations can be modified to include % usage the message is
clear some adapter use more power than others. thelowest power unit is
combine-a-line, and this is by design.
