  3. fonality rules voip on Which Asterisk Or Other VoIP System To Deploy? · · Score: 1

    I work for a var that does fonality PBXtra systems that is based on asterisk but the interface is a nice, clean web based interface and it scales nicely. Voicemail can be emailed to you and you can have extensive and complicated menu systems...We have menus that are for specific numbers calling in from people that we dont want to deal with and they go straight to voicemail or whatever. CMP recently did a story on fonality vs shoretel and others and fonality toasted them. We have a redundant system that uses rsync to mirror config files, voicemail, everything. We transfer calls to cell phones automatically if someone doesnt pick up their office phone within x number of seconds, etc. We are putting in a 120+ phone system for a client with a mixture of aastra and polycom and our existing clients are quite happy with it. Fonality also comes with tech support and updates every few months assuming you have the service contract. It sells itself easily and you get 20% off as a reseller.

  4. Re:Answer is on Do Big Screens Make Employees More Productive? · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem with this is you have a big vertical bar in the middle of your display, which is annoying. Also, many games do not use 2 monitors. Age of Empires III rules on a 24" widescreen. So does Photoshop. Viewing liquid css designs on a huge monitor is great while stretching a web page across 2 monitors sucks.

  5. fonality on Fonality Acquires Trixbox · · Score: 1

    My employer is a Fonality reseller and we do well selling them to small businesses. I have been bugging them for a year to integrate with sugarcrm since crm and a directory is a shortcoming of asterisk but something asterisk @ home made easy with cisco 7960 type phones. This a great event for small companies that cant afford a $100,000 cisco call manager, believe me.

  6. depends a lot on the phone on Cable VoIP Sounds Better Than Some Landlines · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have a Cisco 7960 at home and a polycom 601 at work and they both toast landlines. We sell voip systems based on asterisk and a lot of it depends on whether the phone is full duplex, half duplex, if you use a switch or a hub, your isp. My isp is time warner and is very good. My same phone on my moms comcast would suck at 6pm when it is congested. VOIP on a pri definitely rules though if you have a full duplex phone. even on speakerphone.

  7. asterisk paging on VoIP with Analog PA Systems and Visual Alerts? · · Score: 1

    We have an FXS port connected to a viking paging module that is addressable as an extension. You can use cat 5 networking wire but have rj11 type devices attached to it and put the paging amp on that if you like. We use Fonality PBXtra and polycom phones mostly. Aastra and a few others will have paging available in the next firmware release so a cheap phone wall mounted might solve your problem.

  8. asterisk kills call manager on Cisco VoIP Ditched for Open-Source Asterisk · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I work for a Fonality PBXtra reseller and the pbx absolutely rules. Asterisk on linux is the future of PBXs. The menu system, reporting, call queues and gui absolutely kill traditional phone systems. BTW, Vonage runs on Asterisk and so does broadvoice and other VOIP companies.

  9. stringray likely provoked on Steve Irwin Dead · · Score: 2, Informative

    Stingrays normally flee at the first sign of trouble. There are two exceptions: if they are cornered or accidentally stepped on.

    Irwin's chest wound led some experts to speculate that he might have provoked the creature. "Unfortunately he may have contributed to his death because he got too close and the animal felt threatened," Dr Fry said.

    Wildlife filmmaker David Ireland said if a stingray barb hit any vital organs "it's as deadly as a bayonet".

    Kind of. You could enable previous versions and access various versions through sharepoint. Perhaps I should have said it has been much more easy to use in 2003 r2.

  13. already in windows 2003 r2 and sharepoint on Microsoft Adds Risky System-Wide Undelete to Vista · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you have windows 2003 r2 or sharepoint, you already have this feature. I enabled it on our network and people like it. there is a previous versions tab when right clicking a file in xp and selecting properties and then "previous versions". You tell windows 2003 r2 how much space you want to allocation for previous versions and then how often you want it to index versions of changed documents. It has saved me a lot of trouble restoring from backup when someone saves a change they didnt mean to make.

  14. Re:QA's failure more likely on Big Dig - One of Engineering's Greatest Mistakes? · · Score: 1

    And qa should have caught it. I used to work in the aerospace business and qa was active in the process of construction of parts and identifying problems with things before construction on very complex things even began. QA on large airplanes is done inside a computer before parts are ever ordered. One of the interesting tidbits from my days in aerospace is the 777 was assembled piece by piece in CATIA (cad software on rs/6000) before the first part was ever ordered. And you know who checked it out first? QA.

  15. QA's failure more likely on Big Dig - One of Engineering's Greatest Mistakes? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I believe that the question should be phrased differently. I would like to ask whether or not it is one of quality assurance's biggest mistakes. I routinely find work that was planned well and thought out well only to have a half way job done by whoever was checking work done by the lowest bidder to cut costs.
