I think I understand this. By doing some other reading I understand that Betamax sometimes permits free call-out to various destinations. From what you wrote I gather that all Pbxes.com users are lumped together and quickly hit a limit for these free minutes. Is that right?

Correct when you use betamax at home (not through a pbxserver on the net) you have your own unique ip. Betamax limits free calls based on ip.

When you call thru say pbxes using betamax, betamax sees the ip of the pbxes server. That ip is shared by many users and thus free minutes are shared by many users all using the same ip.
