Yes, I'll be providing local dial tone at each site; as far as legally, 
I remember that India used to be a big deal with telecomms, going so far 
as to "two phones on the desk".  I read a white paper on cisco.com 
talking about how they managed to do away with that, but since we're not 
a multi-billion dollar organization, I don't know that _we'd_ be allowed 
to just have a single phone on the desk.  Anyone know for sure what the 
landscape out there looks like now?
