Does it work with Skype (http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-2307331-10424196) ? . I was forced to answer no until recently when I came across a new product called ChanSkype (http://www.chanskype.com/) . The developers at ChanSkype (http://www.chanskype.com/) have developed a conduit between Asterisk and Skype that enables inbound and outbound calls via the Skype client on your Trixbox. You can receive Skype calls from other Skype unsers, make unlimited outbound calls via SkypeOut (http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2307331-10422642) for $30 a year and receive unlimited inbound calls via SkypeIn (http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2307331-10423077) calls for $30 a year. That is only $5 a month for unlimited inbound and ourbound calls! The ChanSkype (http://www.chanskype.com/) software we are using in the HOWTO isn't free but a single channel license (one call at a time) is only $20. text/html 2006-04-23T20:35:31+01:00 http://www.geek-pages.com http://www.geek-pages.com/articles/asterisk/setting_up_enum_for_outbound_calls_on_trixbox.html Updated for Trixbox! Simply put ENUM is a way for those of us that utilize VOIP to avoid using the PSTN to establish a call between to VOIP systems with out using the PSTN. Think of it as a true Internet Phone - no phone company of any kind needed. Your probably asking Don't I do this already? . Well if both you and the person your calling are using the same VOIP provider you are doing the next closest thing but still using a third party to complete your call. Imagine being able to call from one * box to another * box directly over the internet without involving a third party. text/html 2006-10-29T22:05:43+01:00 http://www.geek-pages.com http://www.geek-pages.com/articles/latest/dd-wrt_-_multiple_ssids_-_1_for_fon_-_1_for_private_network.html SCENARIO:When version 24 of DD-WRT was released in beta, one of the first things I wanted to accomplish was to setup FON on 1 SSID and my internal network on another SSID. It took me a while to find the time to work on it but here is how I set it up. I tested this on a WRT54G v4, WRT54GS v1 and a Buffalo WHR-G54S running WPA and WEP for the internal network security. text/html 2006-08-05T21:37:02+01:00 http://www.geek-pages.com http://www.geek-pages.com/articles/latest/dd-wrt_-_setting_up_a_separate/isolated_vlan_on_port_4_with_dhcp.html Our scenario:We wanted to separate 1 port on our WRT54G/S/L or Buffalo WHR-G54s and provide access to the internet but prevent access to the other ports on VLAN0. There were several reasons we came up with to configure a router this way:Create a separate VLAN to customers or vendors to connect to while they are in the office.Create a separate VLAN to connect a FON (http://www.fon.com) community router.Keep your roommate isolated from your network but share your internet connection.In this example we will separate port 4 from ports 1, 2 and 3. It will move to VLAN2 on a network of 192.168.2.0. DHCP will also be setup to hand out IP addresses on the new network.
