Jon’s Phone Tool
Wednesday, August 17th, 2005All kinds of great apps coming out for computers to make phone calls. Jon’s Phone Tool is a bit of Mac software that looks nice. It uses the SIP standard. (I like standards.) Haven’t tried it yet but the fact that it’s scriptable means much power lies therein.
Asterisk for Activism
Friday, August 12th, 2005I’ve been reading and learning about Asterisk like crazy. Asterisk is a Open Source software PBX (Private branch exchange). It’s basically a digital telephone switch that runs on Linux.
The Huntsville, Alabama company Digium is mostly responsible for it’s development. They also sell hardware to use with Asterisk. Like the TDM400p which is part of a Developer kit I just bought and installed. Here are all the del.icio.us bookmarks I have for Asterisk. My favorite site so far is VOIP-info.org. There is so MUCH knowledge there it’s amazing!
Lots of folks discussing now how Asterisk could be used for creating mobile podcasts aka mobcasting. EXCITING!
