Fax over IP or SIP trunks!

2011-06-13T06:09:00.000-07:00

Across the Internet even a G.711 codec fax transmission is unpredictable. An excellent discussion of why faxing and modems don’t work well over VoIP can be found here. However, people often get perfectly good results on lightly loaded LANs. It still isn’t perfect, as a burst of data on the LAN can still upset things, but some people get results they can live with.

Implementing Active Directory Integration with ShoreTel 11

2010-12-21T23:13:00.000-07:00

Historically I have recommended that the ShoreTel server not be a computer in your domain. To many times, an Active Directory administrator will create a new Group Policy and forget about the ShoreTel user account. The end result is a down ShoreTel server and a call to TAC support! I still feel strongly about this, but you can still integrate Active Directory authentication for your ShoreTel

Skype and other VoIP Apps on Mobile Phones

It seems new software comes out daily that enables you to run a VoIP application, such as Skype, on your mobile phone natively, through a bridged gateway, or using the Skype API.

British padding lampposts?

2008-03-11T03:34:00.001-07:00

I love the Brits. I most admire them for their World War II toughness & fierce determination and can-do attitude against seemingly overwhelming odds. There is also something to be said for their "properness" and manners. Britain, a tiny island once held the mightiest navy in all the world and explored and colonized much of the world spreading for better or worse the English language and culture.

It's happened to be best of us - we misplaced our cell phone and after frantically looking for it we turn to our spouse/significant other and humbly ask, "Have you seen my cell phone?" or accusingly "What have you done with my cell phone?

2008-03-03T07:35:00.002-07:00

Just learned via TMCs' VoIP Forums that Click4PBX just announced hosted trixbox plans starting at $109/month (1-10 extensions) and going up to a maximum of $279/month (1-300 extensions).
