So my home life is getting sufficient twangled that having some more advance facilities (voicemail / caller id / ...) would be good.
I was looking at Xnet VFX Fusion. But that means I'd have to replace my router to have a phone plug. This seems... unnecessary. Googling (gargling?) for voip and openwrt turns up Asterix running on a Linksys WRT54GL... just so happens I have a WRT54GL running Openwrt "Backfire". So what I need is... * A cordless voip phone or a way of tacking a standard cordless to, umm, something. * Access to a cheap gateway from the IP to Christchurch local telephone system * Something with cheap calls to South Africa / US / UK (diasporas tend to do that to you) So carry on with the digital convergence... After buying, trying and returning to the #...@$#! red shed under gaurantee two TV's... and having similar problems with DSE TV's... I'm very reluctant to waste money on a TV again... Yet the Sprats want TV and a place to plug their game consoles into. Dang. Now with netbooks being cheaper (and better quality) than many TV's... what I need is... * Some way of getting TV & game console inputs on to the display. Hmm. There is an ADSL2+ to city block cabinet a 50m down the road.... Would it be worth replacing my DSE ADSL XH1175 router with an adsl2+ one anyway?
