The SPA3102 features the ability to connect standard telephones and fax machines to IP-based data networks with the additional benefit of an integrated connection for legacy telephone network "hop-on, hop-off" applications. SPA3102 users will be able to leverage their broadband phone service more than ever by automatically routing local calls from mobile phones and land lines over to VoIP service providers and vice versa. If power is lost to the unit or Internet service is down, calls can be redirected to a traditional carrier via the FXO interface.

Includes one FXO and one FXS port.

We frequently include analog lines with our proposals for VOIP PBX. Especially if there are more than a few people in an office, the analog line becomes an emergency backup. When the power is out for an extended period, your having a bad day with your network connection, or your just doing some construction (and unplugging almost everything), you may need a backup. Also, for multilocation, campus situations, you may find it practical to put analog lines in for routing 911 calls.

F2 is excited to announce our support for the new, do it yourself (DIY) phone system from Digium. Its called AsteriskNOW, because its so easy to install and configure all the software you need, with no licensing costs. None! You will need a relatively modern PC computer, and a broadband Internet connection. Simply download the ISO image and burn it to a CDROM. Boot the new phone system PC from the CDROM, then follow the instructions. In no time, you will have converted a PC into a feature rich, business phone system.

F2 offers the digital alternative to traditional faxing. With our Virtual Fax Line you get a dedicated local phone number. When callers send you a fax, we encode it to a file and send it your email.

While we have had numerous reports of problems with Comcast Internet customers, the recently announced 250GB/Month Cap on downloads surprised us too. Here are the details from Comcast directly; http://www.comcast.net/terms/network/amendment/. As a consumer, it seems like kind of a rip-off. I paid for an un-metered service, but now they are adding metering. As a VOIP operator, I'm hoping this measure will improve the quality of bandwidth in some neighborhoods.

F2 Incorporated is now offering a streamlined Local Number Portability (LNP) service. Current F2 customers can submit a request for porting numbers, directly from the F2 web portal. Now with one signature, and a few clicks, you can get your number port request under way! For more information click on the "LNP Requests" menu item. http://www.f2it.com/lnp

I just started doing some micro-blogging at http://www.twitter.com/jaydallen. The cool feature, is that it plows through your various address books and invites everyone.... You have been spamed!

vmspool_manager is an Open Source program for managing your voicemail spool. Written in easy to read Perl. Tested with several versions of Asterisk. Automatically renumbers voicemail files after deleting old voicemails. Almost every option is controllable from the command line so it's easy to use as part of some automated nightly maintenance.

New features (as of July 18, 2007)
* Report mode is default - only says what _would_ have been done if active
* Set the number of days from the command line
* Option to operate on one mailbox instead of the whole queue
