Culled from the Web

I saw this, VoiceTronix.
The OpenPCI series is our new entry level CT hardware platform offering four (4) and eight (8) Loop-Start (FXO) or Station (FXS) ports on a PCI 2.2 bus interface running on Linux.
With Asterisk compatability, and coming soon, FreeBSD support. Nice.

Looks like Asterisk will be able to connect directly to Google Talk in the near future, according to this article I saw at Asterisk VoIP News Blog.

Back, and Updates

I’m back, here’s some quick updates.
Asterisk 1.2.5 is out.
A company I work for has released a xulrunner based app(woo hoo!) using an MSI installer creator that works quite well, although I can’t wait for xulrunner to fully mature and have it’s own installation and updating mechanisms.
I’ve also become a huge fan of Ruby on Rails. […]

Asterisk 1.2

Ok, installing Asterisk 1.2 on my FreeBSD box at home. Let’s see how this goes.
As expected, libpri and zaptel do not compile nor install on FreeBSD. That’s not something I can fix currently. The zaptel dummy drivers are needed for conference calling and some other things. We’ll have to wait for the ports to become […]

Asterisk 1.2 Beta 1 is Out

The long awaited Asterisk 1.2 Beta 1 is now available. Definately worth checking out. I’m gonna upgrade my little server this coming up weekend (or this week, if I get time). The biggest thing is the realtime extension support, so your configuration can be in the database and there is no need to restart the […]

Waiting out the hurricane: SVG and XBL in XUL

With FF 1.5 having native SVG support, and XulRunner close behind, I thouhgt I’d search on SVG inside of XBL widgets for use in Xul(maybe even a Firefix skin done in SVG).
Using SVG with XBL in XUL.

Wish I had some more. Gotta go, wind is picking up.

Software Integration and OSS

I’m a big believer in Software Integration, especially in OSS software. I’ve never understood why most OSS programmers haven’t gone to that logical next step to create software integration paths. For example, if I send an email to somebody through Thunderbird, I should be able to see if they are online or not via one […]

FCC Wants to Tap Your VoIP and other VoIP News Today

The FCC Wants to Tap Your VoIP. Well, that doesn’t make a lot of sense. When Phones originally came out, did anyone want to tap phones then? Nope! It wasn’t until later.
This and other news…

Asterisk Realtime

Does anyone have any good links about Asterisk Realtime? I’m looking to get a beta going and configured with it. I’ve got the link to the voip-info page on my Asterisk blog page but I’d like to learn more, especially with 1.2 coming out with it already enabled.
Post a comment if you’ve got any good […]

My VoIP Plan

My VoIP Plan is still with VoicePulse Connect with 1 incoming for $11/mo(unlimited minutes), and outgoing is with VoIPJet with 1.3c/min outgoing. Both are hooked up through Asterisk, there is fallback to VoicePulse for outgoing in case VoIPJet is down(hasn’t happened yet). And I’m hooked up to my asterisk with my DVG-1402S (Setup Help Here).

More Mozphone(Now called MozIax)

Mozphone is a pretty popular search term for this site! Wow, who’da thunk it!
But, great news! MozPhone is back, alive, and at mozdev.org now. Looks like they’ve even done some new work on it. I’ve gotta get in there and help them with it when I’ve got some spare time(rarely), but I sure want to. […]

More Stuff

If you’ve installed Greasemonkey before, it’s time to update it. A Big Security Hole was Found.
As far as the VoIP stuff, a lot of it is on hold right now. As you may or may not know, I’ve been working with another company for quite some time on one of their up and coming products(as […]

Awesome

One of the better Uses of Asterisk

One of the better uses of Asterisk, other than hooking it up with a single provider, is determining the lowest cost route using different providers.
For example, I’m using VoicePulse Connect! which has a local DID with free incoming calls for $7.95/mo, and outgoing calls at 2.95/min (that’s cents, by the way).
Someone on Slashdot mentioned […]
