I based this off of an xorg.conf I found on the web last year, and has been edited (a lot) as I found new information. This also requires use of 915resoultion, at least with xorg-server 1.2.0 (I’ve heard rumors that 1.3.0 will eliminate this dependency), to handle the non-standard resolution of the laptop’s LCD (1280×768). Switching between dual screens and single screen still requires editing of this file and uncommenting the desired configuration in “ServerFlags” and commenting the other section lines before restarting X.

With the awesome community resource http://voip-info.org/, the book Asterisk: The Future of Telephony, and, of course, Asterisk’s own documentation and configuration file comments, I built myself a much more well-featured answering machine. ;) Initially, I purchased two pieces of hardware – the Grandstream BudgeTone 200 IP Phone and the Grandstream HandyTone 488 FXS/FXO device. However, the 488 didn’t work well for my purposes, as it didn’t support passing caller-id information from the PSTN to Asterisk, and it was annoying that you couldn’t use the FXS when the FXO was active on the PSTN line. I e-mailed Grandstream tech support, and they said that they were never going to offer a firmware update to the 488 to add this function, so, I broke down and bought a Cisco/Linksys/Sipura SPA-3102. For around $30 more, the SPA-3102 offered much, much more, including a better web interface, caller ID from the PSTN, and, to my ears, a bit better sound quality both in the FXS and the PSTN connection.

So what do I get with this effort?

  • Message storage limited only by the size of my hard drive.
  • VoiceMail via e-mail to main e-mail account and cell phone as a short text message, complete with caller ID info, time length, and the message attached as a WAV audio file.
  • Internal extensions over 802.11g wireless network (no cable lays), with uLaw (PSTN-level quality audio codec).
  • Using Twinkle (or any softphone), make calls in my home area from anywhere there’s an Internet connection.
  • So many possibilities!
