Project Status
We are using Google Voice as our telephone service provider. We are using an Obihai Obi110 analog telephone adapter to do the heavy lifting for the Google Voice stuff.
Project History
Originally, Hive13 had a Cincinnati Bell landline, and the idea was to use an FXO card and asterisk for it. We have since moved to Time Warner Business for our internet access, thus relegating our PSTN line inactive.
Also, the original Asterisk server hardware died, and as a stopgap, we were using Gizmo5 and Google Voice.
Google has since acquired Gizmo and shut it down for good as of March 2011.
Project Needs
- Aserisk box - a working box, preferrably harvested from the pile of PCs at the space
- PCI modem with X100P chipset - was acquired and is probably somewhere in the space :-)
- if I can locate it, it might work with the obihai 110 via the FXO port
- Phreaks - one or more people interested in installing linux, programing ip phones, and conducting test calls.
