My series called The Beginners Guide To Sucessful VOIP Over DSL was just republished over at Small Net Builder. Tim Higgins, the editor over there, has been very supportive of my recent efforts. Where they are interested I may be…
A number of people in the VOIP user community have deployed this device already, some have even documented their efforts. Such prior art will no doubt help me get mine working also. Here are their notes: The VOIP wiki: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Setup+MV-370+GSM+Gateway+with+Asterisk…
Two weeks ago my wife told me that the small snom m3 handsets are not working as well as they should. To be specific, when she’s in the front bedroom the call quality is not good. I was out of town at the time but eventually got around to looking into the matter.

Over at TMC they've blogged an accurate and concise yet biting overview of the problems of the telecom industry. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. When will they get a clue. Deregulation was such a farce. OTOH, this…
