Multi-port Voice-capable GSM modems
by Billy 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi, I am looking for some kind of interface/device that supports multiple GSM lines (and supports voice calls not just SMS) such that if I connect it to my machine I can have multiple phone lines to a PBX (asterisk in this case). Am told there might be some PCI-based cards that can do this. Are there any USB types? Anyone with any info (and/or quotes) for both PCI and/or USB types. -Billy

Froyo on HERO
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

I had decided to kickout my HTC Hero, largely due to the lack of support from HTC but "Nilichukuwa Control Mwenyewe" ... I got this excellent image from Sweden http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showthread.php?t=16471 which is basically Adroid 2.2. (FROYO) and I love responsiveness, speed and versatility. Even though the Hero is 1 year old the distro is giving it a new lease of life. I am still eying the Samsung Galaxy S ;-) How many adroid users are there on this list?

Or to make it easier give the part number written on the box. As for CRT Monitors those will be definitely hard to move unless you sell them at a throw away price.

The successful candidate will have a direct influence on the product development and so their opinion and constructive criticism will be valued and expected.
