I guess this shows that you don't need fancy HTML5/CSS/rounded borders/custom fonts/etc. etc. to actually build a business. As much as I love eye candy and love spending hours tweaking my projects to get them to look "just right," this is something I have to always remember. Shipping and getting customers is what ultimately matters.
(One pet peeve though: many of the recent HN posts linking to company blogs don't include a link back to the homepage. Everyone, please have a link! The standard top-left logo works really well for this. Immediately after reading your blog, my first intention is to see your product. Don't make me edit out "blog." from the URL by hand.)

I'm glad I'm not the only person who has noted this lately. :)
hey thank you so much for your advice. Actually i am thinking of moving away from landline to mobile routing, mainly because of cost and complications. I am planning to implement Asterisk,in my house, which i am planning to use as an office for volunteers. This Skype thing is really neat btw. AsteriskNow looks really what i need, but i will shoot you an email if i find my self a little lost while dealing with Asterisk. :)
Thank you so much for your adice...this is actually a really interesting perspective. I am thinking myself of affiliating my self with a university so that they can help me in providing training to volunteers. Yeah, i am thinking of eliminating mobiles phones from the whole scenario and focus completely on an internal PBX system. As for the funding, i hope that i can bank roll it myself...i am not so sure right now, but considering the increasing number of difficulties faced Pakistanis i think i need to start this as soon as possible.
