Will you use SNPP for message relay or a GSM modem? Either way you'll find open source packages that will buffer and relay messages for you. On Jan 17, 2013 9:52 PM, "Niyaz Ahmad" wrote: > hi, > > I need to build a bulk SMS application. > > Clarifications first :) > I am not working for any spamm

Re: [ilugd] Migration to GNU/Linux: Suggestions needed

Sounds great. Network booting allows you to run complete distros only. It does not convert the PCs into thin clients. I am not talking about LTSP here. Fedora, for example, can easily be configured to network boot. The full distro. The advantage is single system imaging. You are all running the s

Re: [ilugd] Migration to GNU/Linux: Suggestions needed

Hi Mohit This is a great endeavour. Why don't you consider network booting your PCs? That way you won't need to install Linux in 500 machines. Just build a master image on a server and let all units share it. The local HDD can be used for swap, since 1GB might be a little low for, say, running Ne

Hey Vijai I was going to respond to your email as soon as I saw it, saying that you should buy thin clients and a terminal server. But I didn't since I have a vested interest - I own a company that provides thin client solutions in the NCR area - www.thinvent.in. I am happy to know that every oth

I use an LG Optimus P500. Excellent for fooling around with, since it has 512 MB RAM (fairly large for an entry level Android). You should be able to pick this up for around Rs. 8K in the retail market. Being the largest selling sub 10K Android phone in the market means the community support f

Could someone please, please clarify this? Last I heard from some FOSS-friendly legal minds, the answer to this was, "it depends". I just responded, but I think my post was rather incoherent. Didn't realise there was interest in this list about VoIP.

Re: [ilugd] Looking for an Android Developer for App Dev Contract

Within the same LAN, it is legal. You can transfer incoming PSTN lines over IP to any point within your network. You can even transfer over WAN to an office in another SDCA. On the outbound front, you can't initiate a call using a PSTN port in another SDCA. So, you can't use SIP over your WAN

Hey guys! I'm not sure if this qualifies as a commercial post, so I didn't flag it so. We have some pretty interesting work to be done on the ARM platform. If you've heard of the BeagleBoard, then this is pretty much the same stuff. We are creating a very low end computing device using an ARM SoC
