[SLUG] Unwanted laptop wanted
For use by an invalid, I'd like to buy an old laptop at the right price. It need only be capable of running Firefox so the patient can browse websites and hotmail. It needn't have a hard drive as it could be booted with a Knoppix CDROM. It needn't have a fresh power battery as it could be run from the plugpack. It should have USB so we could give it a mouse and a 802.11g adaptor. It should also have a working NIC. If you reply, please indicate where I can collect it from you.

[SLUG] Linux and VOIP
Hi All, Maybe I'm just typing the wrong thing into Google, but this seems a hard topic to get info on. Here's what I want to do: Connect my existing land line phones into some piece of hardware so I can then use my cable internet connection to make calls. Some people seem to think you can use a normal 56K (voice) modem to do this, with some software on my linux box. (seams like the cheapest option!) Others seem to think there is specific hardware to connect a landline phone into an ethernet to convert the phones to VOIP phones. Infact netcomm sell these, but require direct connection to the modem, which sounds like it could present problems with the bigpond heart beat, and my remote access. Apparantly netcomm don't make reliable hardware anyway, something I would think inportant for this application. Oh, and I know all this could be done easily if I just went to an ADSL2+ plan+voip, but I'm a long way from the exchange (3.8km by google maps) Any thoughts?

Here's what I want to do: Connect my existing land line phones into some piece of hardware so I can then use my cable internet connection to make calls. It's called an ATA (Analogue Telephone Adaptor) Some people seem to think you can use a normal 56K (voice) modem to do this, with some software on my linux box. (seams like the cheapest option!) seems like a lot of messing about Others seem to think there is specific hardware to connect a landline phone into an ethernet to convert the phones to VOIP phones.

Oh, and I know all this could be done easily if I just went to an ADSL2+ plan+voip, but I'm a long way from the exchange (3.8km by google maps) That's not a long way, Use tpg.com.au/maps to workout what speed you'd likely get. Suitable devices include most of the Billion 6xxx series, Linksys PAP2 and clones. I'm using a Zyxel 2000 series that is doing fine. It was on special for about $30. Most of the time you'll need to spend around $50-100 to get something capable of 1-2 phones. Any thoughts?

Your looking for an ATA Adapter such as this one: http://www.globaltekvoip.com.au/Products_pages/ATAs/Grand_H286.html See http://www.3cx.com/PBX/FXS-FXO.html for some more info about this.
