  1. Re:Simpler (almost cheaper) better looking hack by ShortBeard · · Score: 0 · on Build Your Own Chat-Cord

    A quick Google and here you go.

    Looks real economical.

    Right.

    The world would be far better off if everyone installed Linux on a spare computer so they could run Asterisk. You then just need to buy a bunch of hardware, and then either spend a few hundred dollars each on WiFi phones, or spend tens of hours recabling your house.

    Oh, and then you get to configure the mess, after learning all about such eccentricities as G.711, G.723.1, GSM, IAX, and SIP, SCCP, plus a whole lot of other defacto telephony standards and Ways Of Doing Things that were obviously developed in a cave.

    Once you solve the echo problem, all you gotta do is make DUNDi work, and you can finally call other people Just Like You. Or, you can sign up with any of dozens of shady small VOIP telephone companies and pay a few tenths of a cent per minute to talk to regular people via a SIP, IAX, h.323, or MGCP connection.

    Sweet.

    Alternatively, one could always download and install Skype. I understand that it does work fairly well, and is easy for mere mortals to use. It seems that Siemens now has an easy way for you to use their handsets with it. Neat.

  3. Asterisk PBX at DigitNetworks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Will VoIP Kill the PBX?

    C'mon... a traditional PBX can't compete with a VoIP PBX for $40.

    Hmm... You know, you could get a generic clone at a reasonable price...

  5. Wifi + VoIP to save on calls by awehttam · · Score: 3, Informative · on Motorola Plans Wi-Fi Cell Phones
    Or, setup an Asterisk box, get yourself a NuFone account and use E164.org to resolve pstn numbers to voip addresses over the Internet.

    Set up Asterisk to try an EnumLookup first, then fall back to NuFone or your home landline using a $16 X100P WinModem from DigitNetworks.

    Get all your friends to register their phone numbers with E164.org too, it's a free ENUM service that also verifies people's numbers.

    Then if you're really feeling groovy, help a local Community Wireless Network deploy an 802.11a backbone with 11g hotspots all over the place ;) Works great with Asterisk and serexpress. :)
