This week’s project is not for mere mortals. It’s for techies that also happen to be cheapskates frugal. You may recall the Pogoplug from yesteryear. Well, the Pogoplug 4 still is around and can be yours for under $20 with free 2-day shipping if you’re an Amazon Prime member. But the clock is ticking on these bad boys. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.1 UPDATE: There’s more good news. Now the cost with the Pogoplug Backup & Sharing model is just… Read More ›

Flawless design, incredible performance, tiny size, feature-rich components, minimal power consumption, and completely silent operation are merely the tip of the iceberg with this 2x2x2 cubic zircon.

In our never-ending quest for better, faster, and cooler VoIP technology, we bit the bullet last week and purchased the $130 top-of-the line CuBox-i4Pro, a state-of-the-art Quad-Core, all-in-one computer that’s 2x2x2 inches small. If you hurry, NewEggFlash has the i4PRO on sale for $119 with free shipping until Tuesday, August 26. If you’re not feeling especially wealthy this week, the $85 Dual-Core CuBoX-i2 should work just well minus WiFi and Bluetooth. And there are a few other specs worth writing… Read More ›

State of the Art: The New Incredible PBX Security Model for Asterisk

State of the Art: The New Incredible PBX Security Model for Asterisk

Monday, August 11, 2014

— Comments are Disabled

About once a year, we try to shine the spotlight on Asterisk® security in hopes of saving lots of organizations and individuals a little bit (or a lot) of money. The problem with open source phone systems is they’re open source phone systems. So the bad guys can figure out how they work just like the good guys. That’s not to suggest that proprietary phone systems are any more secure. They’re not. It just may take the bad guys a… Read More ›

If you’re not one to turn down a new challenge and you consider yourself an open source purist, then this Bud’s for you. Last month we introduced the latest and greatest Ubuntu 14 offering with Incredible PBX. And today it’s RedHat’s turn with the brand new CentOS 7. Be forewarned that CentOS 7 is a very different Linux animal than CentOS 6.5, and it’s just two weeks old. RHEL 7 is only six weeks old. There are more than a… Read More ›

The Poor Wise Man’s Burglar Alarm System with Asterisk: Under $10/month

Monday, July 14, 2014

If you’re like us, spending $50 a month or more on a home security system is a bit like pouring money down the toilet. Add to that the complications of getting one to work reliably with VoIP without spending another $50 a month on a Ma Bell vintage telephone line just adds insult to injury. So perhaps you can share our elation when an email arrived last week announcing Straight Talk’s new Remote Alert System, a $10/month cellular-based system that… Read More ›
