To be member of Dave Cook's alley, I just bought a Linksys WRT54GS from staples. It is $79.95 after $20 instance discount and $20 mail-in-rebate this week. The original price is $119.95. It is the same model as Dave's one shown on VON.
You have to make sure you don't buy v5 model, as mine is v2, 32M RAM vs 16M for WRT54GL. Now I have to figure out how to install Asterisk on it. Hope Dave can post some direct information here. Good luck. :-) On 4/13/06, Nabeel Jafferali <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > LOL, that should be right up Dave Cook's alley. > > BTW I really think this list needs to default to reply-to the list. > > Nabeel > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Mike Ashton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: April 13, 2006 12:34 PM > > To: 'TAUG' > > Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] Re: debriefing beer notes > > > > So Nabeel, > > > > If we all buy 3 or 4 of these, are you going to do a clinic on setting > > them up as a mesh network? > > Of course with * & QoS in the whole package. > > > > Mike > > > > Nabeel Jafferali wrote: > > > > For those of you looking to play with that unit, NCIX has a really > > good deal > > on the WRT54GL right now.
