Much awaited and long overdue due to technical and staffing issues, we have finally got trixbox CE 2.4 out the door and the response has been fantastic. With tons of little problems that have been around for ages fixes and boatloads of changes from the previous versions, trixbox CE 2.4 is certainly THE distribution to be using for your Asterisk implementations these days.

trixbox 2.2 beta 5 released

The beta 5 build of trixbox 2.2 was released today. This was mostly just a lot of bug fixes from beta 4 but also added provisioning support for Linksys and Polycom phones. This is probably the last beta build before the release candidates start coming.

Review: Polycom Communicator CS100

While there are bajillions of USB Skype phones available now and more are coming out every day. While they may work well with Skype, they typically don’t work very well with regular SIP or IAX softphones, and even then, most have simply horrible call quality. Quite some time ago we reviewed the Duet 250 speakerphone which blew our socks off and has ever since had a permanent home in my laptop bag. Recently, Polycom released the Communicator C100 which is also a USB speakerphone that works with both Skype and regular softphones. While our first thought was that Polycom had finally jumped the shark with such a low-end device, we decided to try it out and see how it really performed.
