05Nov04Branching Out
03Nov04Installing and Securing VOIP With Linux — a brief story of using Asterisk to provide PBX services for two remote branch offices and integration with the legacy PBX at HQ. This is exactly the type of scenario that will make VOIP bigger than Linux and drive Asterisk adoption. Cheaper dialtone with more features isn’t going […]
Some Asterisk links
17Oct04Open Source VOIP will be bigger than Linux according to Jon “Maddog” Hall of Linux International as quoted by ZDNet UK.
“I predict that over next three years, VoIP using an open-source solution, such as Asterisk, will generate more business than the entire Linux marketplace today,” said Hall. “Today’s PBX solutions are incredibly expensive, closed […]

For the past year or so I’ve been following Asterisk, a powerful PBX platform that do just about anything — from providing voicemail for a busy household on up to elliminating long-distance calls between a multi-national corporation’s […]
VOIP’d
