I don't trust my code when I completely rewrite something core and only a few tests fail - one of which was due to the test. Oh well, next adventure is #Asterisk manager improvements prototyping to validate an idea. #coding

From Analog Phone to FreeBSD Server Interface

In his latest write-up, Alexander Deplov restores a vintage Panasonic desk phone and connects it to a FreeBSD server via a Grandstream HT801 and Asterisk, turning the handset into a physical command menu.

If you’re interested in creative integrations or bridging old devices with modern systems, this is worth a read.

I've finished setting up my #voip system at home. I've found all parts in the dumpster, including the four Cisco 7821 phones and a Cisco Catalyst switch with PoE. The phones are now connecting to an #asterisk server on a linux box in the basement. And I've purchased both a German and Canadian dial in number which costs about $1/month. Everything works really well! There were probably close to a hundred phones in the bin at my university. Now I wish I'd taken more of them!

What the hell is this. I've not bought a VoIP number for ages and almost every provider now seems to need Photo ID, a recent utility bill and, in some instances, company registration documents and an app / webcam proof of being a person check before you can buy a number. Wow. Mad.
