Happy new year - back on line after the Christmas break. Just upgraded the old Anchor to 256 Mb ram and XP pro. Very nice- just the thing for serfing the net and posting on the internet. LANBOSS is now truly a server and connected to the printers. Traveller is a little sick these days, but Ièm looking for a replacement. OR I may use it as a LINIX laptop to play with. But surpirsingly, this old e-machine has been updated by adding RAM, XP and wireless keyboard and mouse. Next a bigger HD, I guess. In the meantime any once need 64Mb of PC100 RAMÉ

Howstuffworks "How IP Telephony Works" Some basics - as I recently outlined - in addition to the how VoIP works - here are some Bell West definitions of how things are....... Prime buildings "Bell owns a suitable active digital electrical or optical telecommunications connection between the customer premises and the designated POP and that the service is ready. OR Bell has begun development of suitable facilities to the building and will be service ready within a defined timeframe.
