Everything worked, even google voice! I dialed Lenny because you said that was where to direct telemarketers and I thought this would be a automated message. I ended up talking to Lenny in England. That wasn’t very nice to put his number in there.

"Decipher the randomized password for extension 701. It’s in the data field"

"Decipher the randomized voicemail password for extension 701. It’s the first entry"

I always just login to FreePBX and view the extension, where both passwords are plain as day…

[WM: Different strokes. Most prefer the web interface. But some are diehard Linux fans. Either way works. And we like documenting both methods so everybody understands that this really isn’t rocket science.]

I successfully installed Debian onto the 16GB SD card as per Qui’s blog. The Pogoplug boots to it fine. Now, your direction state to download & install Incredible PBX on to a 16GB SD Card. Is this a second SD card that we install the PBX on? The first SD card has the Debian installed and the Pogoplug has booted to the installed Debian. The Pogoplug only has one SD slot. Clarification would be much appreciated.

[WM: Use the same card or a different one. Then plug it in and boot the Pogoplug.]

But the price increase makes that $18.98 hot pink E02 I got yesterday look a little better. They still have ten left – hurry!

[WM: As the old saying goes, "You snooze. You lose." Here’s a link to other suppliers some of whom are considerably cheaper and back in the target price range. Sorry.]

Why not the television? Surely you guys can squeeze IPBX onto one of those new flatscreens with all the apps and stuff built in? 🙂

When can I expect you guys installing PBIAF in my new fridge??? 😉

[WM: heh. Better get an LG. It’s on our radar.]

I’ve a few sitting unused in the closet, thanks.

Cheaper Blue: one USB 2.0

Both come with SD card port and gigabit ethernet..

The relatively weak processor on these units constrain the performance of any one port, i.e. you won’t get anywhere near gigabit speed on the ethernet.. But for the pbx application it’s still adequate.

Luckily the import/tax/vat/duty has a floor trigger on $14, so I was able to buy it through Amazon International for the price $10.95 and the shipment & handling cost of $16.48. Total cost 27.43 is equal to £16.82 and is still cheap.
Could someone explain the different between the cheap blue Pogoplug and the pink Pogoplug series 4?

[WM: One extra USB port on the pink series 4. Blue pogo only has 1, but it works fine for WiFi adapter.]

The only way it could have turned out better is if Rakuten still had them for $7.99 shipped free. They sold out within hours on August 18th. I got two of them then.

[WM: Thanks. Appreciate the tip.]

I picked up several from Rakuten for $7.99 each with free shipping but they are all gone at that price.

Amazon still has them.

Plenty available on ebay too.

[WM: Ordered one tonight. Hoping it works. Will report back late Wednesday.]
