454778 2006-05-14 04:30:00 If you mean "receive" rather than "reserve", this is called "call forwarding", when it stays in the standard telephone system. I think Telecom can provide this (for a charge, of course ;)).

Try "call forwarding voip" to Google. I suspect someone will have done this, and will be telling the world about it.

454780 2006-05-14 05:36:00 The are ways to do this.
One way is to build an Asterisk @ Home (http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net/) box, put in an FXO card so that it can connect to Telecoms line and then setup your VOIP phone or software on another PC / notebook to log into the Asterisk box.
You could log into the Asterisk box from anywhere on the net and then be able to receive calls if someone phones your home number.
