VOCAL: Open Source VoIP Software for Linux

An Anonymous Coward writes: "While most Open Source projects are applications and utilities intended for single users, David Bryan and David Kelly did something different. They created an infrastructure project -- a VoIP phone system that either can run on a single box attached to a couple of IP phones or can scale up to a network of hosts processing hundreds of calls between thousands of users. In this informative technical article at ELJonline, Bryan and Kelly detail the 'Vovida Open Communications Applications Library' ('VOCAL') project, a fully functional phone system that can run on either Red Hat Linux or Sun Solaris."

off-topic: wish me luck.

Tomorrow morning I ship off to U.S. Army basic training.

This interested me because I get an entire year of schooling dealing with radios and electronics, they pay me to go to school, they pay off all my school loans, and my entire contract is only 4 years.

I'm a typical geeky computer programmer, so this should be very interesting. Goodnight!

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavours. With any luck and with the help of your "geeky computer programmer" skills, you will end up as a programmer or a communications officer, rather than a live-round infantry target or something along these lines. Come back in one piece, would you? :)

Ragnarok is used in Norse mythology to refer to the end of the world, although it's unclear as to whether it refers to an event or a place.

I am the apocolypse incarnate.
