For those on the CNET network, my speaking clock which is quite well known
on 020 7043 1320 (1431320 on Sipgate) is now also available on the CNET
number 0564 8081. Please give it a call and let me know if it sounds ok.

I dialed the 020 number and it took an age to go through.
According to my timex "waveceptor" which sync's up around 02:00 every morning
there was about a 500ms delar but I put that down to network paths of my own
voip connection.

Well this is all very well guys, but I know the 020 number works, I want
to know if anyone's getting through on the CNET number :-)

I checked out the site but I couldn't easily find how to access the
network directly via voip.There is a lot to read through. I couldn't
find a listing under Sipbroker via the names that I tried - so is it
there?
So a potted version of how to access would be useful.
I tried via PSTN to
+1 (914) 239-5132 Recording, then dial 9, and then number -
but I got a very weird voice telling me to hang up - it sounded like
something off a horror movie.

Ok, well there are three ways to access CNET, firstly by becoming part of
it by hosting an Asterisk box, secondly by having an ATA pointing at
someone else's Asterisk, or by calling one of the PSTN access gateways.
There's no direct way in from outside the network, it's effectively a
closed system.
There are a few PSTN gateways though, try 023 9298 8085 (2988085 on
Sipgate) that's probably the easiest to access. You'll get a recorded
message then a dial tone. Dial the number in full as quoted, i.e. for the
clock 0564 8081. (CNET in the UK uses the old "pre-phoneday" codes, i.e.
01 for London, 021 for Birmingham etc.)

Hi,
Certainly working via CNET.
Possible congestion issues but I think that is probably expected operation
(i.e. one call at a time! :) ).

The CNET number was not registering for some time today (0817 - 0908
according to the log file) so if you tried then it would have probably
returned a busy tone.

When i dialed 2988085 on sipgate with my GPX2000, the (male) voice came
a bit hackled through, i got hanged up, at my first try, second try, i
came through,(male) voice sounded in same quality, as first call) and
strangly, the (female) time message, i then dialed, sounded better, en
clear to hear...

When Brian Cobby became the voice of the speaking clock there was massive
TV publicity, but the sponsorship deal just was not mentioned.
I remember being quite surprised and disappointed about the soiling
of this British institution when I got round to calling it.
The subsequent voice changes have gone quite un-noticed by me, and IMHO, by
most others.
