Interested in setting up an asterisk server? This 47 minute video tutorial with John Todd is excellent. Particularly interesting for me, as I’ve been struggling with a generic x100 FXO card, was the way that the Sipura 3000 can be used for both FXS and FXO.
Hat-tip to Febeke Okafor!
PhoneGnome founder David Beckemeyer has posted some interesting statistics about PhoneGnome users on his blog. He breaks out calls terminated on the PSTN, an ITSP, other PhoneGnome users, and free peering to other interoperable VoIP systems. The interesting numbers?
- 16% of PhoneGnome calls terminate on another PhoneGnome, which means that the marketing programs he has used to encourage people to purchase a second PhoneGnome for family and friends are working.
- Just 39% of calls are placed via the PSTN. That’s a pretty dramatic impact.
