VOIP: Replacing your legacy phone system with Trixbox
Voice Over IP or VOIP seems to be the buzz word on everybody’s lips at the moment and with good reason. Forwarding your calls over the internet instead of the phone lines can save you big money. As a communications consultant I have received many enquiries about VOIP as of late and as a Linux fan I have read much about the progress of the open-source Asterisk PBX project headed up by Digium. Utilizing the power and adaptability of Linux, one can build themselves an Asterisk based server on commodity hardware for a fraction of the price of a proprietary system. Installation and configuration can be very tricky however if you aren’t blessed with Guru linux skills, enter Trixbox.
