I picked up a Prestige 2000W V1 phone on my way out of OfficeDepot a couple of weeks ago. I think it was $60 with a $50 rebate. Unfortunately I could not take advantage of the rebate since the service was no longer available. So I tried hooking it up to Broadvoice. My initial efforts were [...]

I am bookmarking this site although I know I will probably never download and read any of these books. Over the years I have been sufficient and occasionally proficient in many program languages. At this time I just do not think I have the desire or time to plow through a [...]

Broadvoice VoIP, ZyXEL, and X-Lite
March 20th, 2006 · No Comments · SBS2K-SBS2K3
I created an account with Broadvoice today. Since I was having a few problems connecting my WiFi phone, ZyXEL, I called them since I was missing some info. Tech support was good and then sent me the configuration info. I eventually got the ZyXEL phone to work. The phonebook is a little clunky and there [...]

Inspiron 9400 and SUSE Live DVD 10
March 20th, 2006 · No Comments · OpenSource
The good news is that it the Live DVD booted. The bad news is that it did not recognize my wireless card. This was just a checkout test so I did not check it with the LAN access. It is okay but I guess I prefer Ubuntu and Fedora.

Asterisk and the Linksys SPA9000
March 19th, 2006 · 4 Comments · SBS2K-SBS2K3
I have to admit that I have been interested in the PBXs for a long time. One of my most gratifying projects I put together was a PBX and telephone trunk upgrade which saved the company a lot of money. Best of all the savings were easy to find. We just looked at the next [...]

Updating Azureus and increasing my share ratio
March 17th, 2006 · No Comments · OpenSource
I updated my copy of Azureus today and started figuring out some of the symbols. Everything looked good except my share ratio. For some reason I was not sharing when I downloaded the vm machine of asterisk. The share symbol was red. My share ratio was practically zero. So I am going to leave Azureus [...]

My new Inspiron 9400 with duo core does not boot Ubuntu(Breezy Badger). I am sad but not surprised. I tried only a couple of things before finally giving up. I will try again in the next release of Ubuntu. I was trying to label and store my CDs when I found my copy of Ubuntu [...]

Sage: a feed reader for Firefox
Sage is a lightweight RSS and Atom feed reader extension for Mozilla Firefox. It’s got a lot of what you need and not much of what you don’t.

Excel Tip: Converting CSV files into IIF files
March 9th, 2006 · No Comments · QuickBooks
The problem with importing data into QuickBooks is their funky multi-line IIF file format. For each transaction(e.g. invoice) in the single row CSV format you need to create three or more rows in IIF format. For me I import the CSV file into one worksheet and create a separate worksheet I call IIF for the [...]

Outlook-Exchange access from XP Home
March 2nd, 2006 · No Comments · SBS2K-SBS2K3
It’s not a big deal but I was a little surprised that I could setup my XP Home laptop to access Exchange. I even got it to communicate via the Internet using RPC. I thought that I had to have XP Pro and to be joined to the domain at least once. I guess that [...]
