Re: March Meeting

Scott,

I have been lurking for years on the email list. 18 years as a Cub Scout leader with meeting on Thursday nights :-). The few times you wandered off Thursdays conflicted with other meetings.

I would like to use VoIP on a FreeBSD box as well. I am not 100% comfortable putting Asterix/FreeSwitch on my Asus 500gp router running TomatoUSB (Linux based). I run 1 (soon to be 2) low power FreeBSD machines on Via C7 processors. Been thinking of FreeSwitch on the one doing backup duties. The first had hardware problems but I managed to get it back up and running but not before I put together a new one. 1st order of business is to setup the new one with ZFS then migrate the services from the UFS old one before giving the old one a ZFS upgrade on new disks. Then I would like to get my VoIP line working somehow on the old one which will do ZFS stream replication.

I cut my teeth on a PDP-44 running Unix System 7 way before using that new fangled Linux :-). I have fond memories of running a VAX 780 with BSD 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 and I still prefer BSD for servers. I have been looking at PCBSD to replace my Fedora workstation -- could not get the liveCD working on the workstation (only a short attempt but that was the time available).

I would be interested in working together on VoIP for FreeBSD if only by email.

Just a friendly reminder that this Thursday is the second Thursday of the month and we will be meeting at Cafe Colonnade downtown.

It would be nice to have more than two people show up. I'm beginning to think BSD is dying, at least the local group anyway. I was wondering if anyone has played with running a VoIP server on BSD? I have a few boxes that run an embedded linux that handles VoIP calls and I was thinking it would be interesting to see if it could be done with an embedded BSD, kind of like pfsense for firewalls.

Discussion welcome over a glass of your favourite.

Cheers,
Scott
