If, like our Foncordiax product, your Asterisk-based PBX utilises the excellent Flash Operator Panel to give a visual representation of what’s happening on your phone system (including trunk utilisation, extensions, parking lots and more), then you may have noticed that DAHDI trunks don’t appear. It had me stumped for a bit, but Google [...]

SME VoIP traffic considerations
We have had a couple of installs recently that are very typical scenarios in the SME market sector.

Nimbuzz seems to be well thought-out, with an impressive range of gateways, including Skype. Will it succeed? Possibly, although it’s early in the hype curve at the moment [...]
The speculation looks like it was right on the mark, according to TMCnet. So while we’re awaiting the official last rights, it really looks like it’s RIP RP.

Interesting news over at bMighty.com
Back when Microsoft announced that it was entering the SME VoIP market with the Response Point product, I will admit to a shiver of apprehension.
