VoIP Joy

Some of you may remember that a while back I was after some kind of VoIP service. Well, I've finally got round to doing something about it.

I'm using Asterisk (helped a lot by Andrew's how-to) and X-Lite softphone, with a Sennheiser PC 20 headset. I've also got a free phone number from sipgate, and it's working perfectly. Now I can sit in my office and look like a total dork.

I just have a couple of little things left to sort out (like, err, outgoing phonecalls), and I'll have a pretty awesome phone system.

But, being a geek, I couldn't leave it there. No, I had to go and download the phone sound effect from 24. I am a very sad man.

Yay!

Unfortunately, I seem to have taken it a step further, and I've got my voice traffic on a separate VLAN to my client network, which is separated from the internet router via another router, which is also being the asterisk server. It's all getting rather silly :)
