Hey I've just moved cites and I decided that instead of getting a regular line, I would try Vonage. Is this the wrong place to go for VoIP? SIP? Asterisk? If so what hardware is suggested.
I'm planning to make this my primary phone so I want something that is rock solid (as long as my internet connection is up).
Also, I don't want a computer to be requried. I simply want to plug a regular phone into a router (which I want to purchase, not build) and go! I basically want this to work as a regular phone line.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
I haven't looked into myself but the player is based on Sigma Designs EM8500 chip (http://www.sigmadesigns.com/products/em8500.htm). This chip has a development kit that runs linux. The code for the development kit is available at: http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/ports/arm/ EM850 0/
On a somewhat related note: I only stumbled across this because I recently purchased a lite-on LVD-2001 which also uses this chip (and runs linux), yet they do not have the source code posted anywhere. I have tried contacting the manufacturer numerous times and the best response that I have receive so far is that "Because we didn't modify the kernel of the linux source code , so we have no responsibility to share any source code to you." That didn't sound right to me. Could anyone more familiar with the GPL comment on this?

Sorry for going off topic.
