voice over pstn network????  Kind of defeats the purpose of voice over 
ip dont you think?

-->Not really, this is because you are still running signaling over the
IP network. You get all calls forwarded to your cell phone OR any phone
of your choice by logging in telecommuter mode. Plus you get all
Enterprise IP PBX features that you can control using the GUI display on
your screen. This is especially useful if you are constrained for
bandwidth. It is a good fall back method.
