Bob,
The Combox isn’t the only thing you’ll need. It depends on how you want it to work. You want to forward calls from you 800 line (PSTN) to a location somewhere to your cell phone (PSTN). If you are looking at VoIP to do this there are a couple things:
– the call will come in on a “Landline” to the FXO port of Combox
– Combox will have a predetermined forwarded number (your cell) configured to forward the call to via IP
– The IP destination that Combox forwards too will have to be a Gateway (either Service like Vonage or others) with PSTN connectivity to call your cell.
How much does the Comboxs cost and can the average tech guy set this up?
yes a tech savey person could set this up easily.
Where can I get the Combox. I looked at he site and found that the links to purhase and contact to not work.
Contact Dave with Planet Telecom. go to http://www.planettelecom.com and get the phone number. a Live person is always available.
Thinking about this further Planet Telecom has a service where you could just purchase a combox (roughtly 300+ US dollars) and use there network to forward your calls. talk to dave and see what he has to offer. I hope this helps, so if you find this not what you invisioned please let me know and we’ll take another stab at it.
cheers,
Vurcos (a.k.a. Jason)

Many thanks
