I have been busy integrating Asterisk into NimbleBilling – take a look see and let me know what you think!

UTStarcom released a new firmware image for its F3000 wireless phone.  I have written about this device in the past and at the time  had not used it enough to fully consider all of its weaknesses – my apologies if you purchased it based on my recommendation.

There is however some good news.  I found myself unable to get this thing to register at all last week and decided to test out the new firmware to see if it would fix the problem, luckily it did.  I find the phone is no longer as hot while in use, it also appears to handoff much nicer.

There still are issues with connectivity as well as battery life though I now feel as if I wasn’t completely ripped off (plus I got text messaging to work).  The phone was quickly discontinued and the company offers little to no support, I believe they still occasionally release new images (probably because they feel guilty for selling this to people).  Bottom line : don’t buy it unless it is super cheap! If you have one already don’t give up on it.  Upgrade the firmware and lets hope for more bug fixes in the future.

Imagine the possibilities with this device

• PBX
• NAS
• DNS
• WEB
• Proxy
• VPN

Endless!

 

I personally have never been so excited about a product as I am now.  Apparently they will be starting ~$50 and there is an Ontario distributor (whom I’ve already contacted).  I will definitely keep you all updated with this product.

Holy Shit.

See how the Cisco services menu interfaces with the web services panel – plus a factory reset for proof.

Here are some images of the script in action.
