OT: Request for speaker

Hello everyone: Once again I've found myself in a bind. I need to find a speaker for my IEEE consultant's group on Thursday October 11th. I know that PLUG has lots of good presenters - for example, Gene Holmerud gave us a very interesting talk about his Science Bowl project a couple of years a

Thanks for all of the information, JD. My apologies to der.hans for hijacking his thread. On Wed, Sep 26, 2007 at 09:19:36AM -0700, JD Austin wrote: > Yes, you can have Asterisk handle faxes/etc and even use that second line > for outbound dialing when you don't have incoming faxes. Trixbox use

Re: asterisk: forward disconnect and Cox

Yes, you can have Asterisk handle faxes/etc and even use that second line for outbound dialing when you don't have incoming faxes. Trixbox uses asterfax which captures faxes well and sends them to email. Adminsparadise uses hylafax and works both directions; pretty slick setup. It uses 'iaxm

I've been toying with [EMAIL PROTECTED]/trixbox for quite a while. When Fonality took ownership the initial changes were nice.. the interface looked good/etc. Now I think they've taken it too far; they've affected the overall vision in a negative way in my opinion. Releases sometimes are VERY br

Re: asterisk: forward disconnect and Cox

I, too, would like to eventually get Asterisk set up at hy mouse if for no other reason to say I have my own PBX (not to mention the extensive features that Asterisk has). I'm thinking of installing [EMAIL PROTECTED] (now TrixBox). Fortunately my entire house (phone jacks and network jacks) are al

D'oh! I was going to look at the GS budget phones (for the price). Thanks for the information. I have a spare box that I was going to set up over the weekend with Trixbox and see how it works. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Asterisk is cool! If you're going all voip you don't need pstn hardware.

RE: asterisk: forward disconnect and Cox

Asterisk is cool! If you're going all voip you don't need pstn hardware. Sangoma and rhino cards are usually less expensive and have built in echo cancellation. The x100p cards aren't very good; get tdm400 card if you go digium. As far as ip phones...polycom, aastra, snom are good; grandstream

Re: asterisk: forward disconnect and Cox

I will be looking into Asterisk very shortly as my company will no longer pay for my home office phone line. I have Vonage now and like it, but it costs more than I use. I'm thinking of going with VoicePulse for the long distance/phone service. Have you looked at the actual digium cards? The

Yes, the Mac supports NFS and Samba out of the box. It was very painless to get my wife's PowerBook to see the Samba shares on my Linux system. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -Original Message- From: Jorge Delacruz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 07:09:53 To:plug-discuss@l

I need to set up a Linux (hopefully) file server for an office of Mac's. OS/X is Unix, so I should be able to set up an NFS/Samba file server, right? Everything will just work? Thanks for the help. JD
