Asterisk and Skype™ finally will work together, in the next version 4 of Skype™ will be implemented the code to manage and interface it into the famous and free software Asterisk, software that allow to create a "telephone exchange" for companies with a ridicolous cost.
Will this Skype™ move take the VoIP mastership also in companies, in addition to private users?

D-Link snob us!

Recently D-Link introduced on the market an interesting product, a Wi-Fi router with integrated VoIP functionality by the famous software Asterisk®, a software developed for VoIP communication and all inherent technologies; the name of this curious device is HorstBox DVA-G3342SB.
It seems strange but this product at the moment is available only in Germany, in fact if you want to read the features and other infos you can do it by surfing on the official page of the product (german language!) or by searching it on the official German website www.d-link.de.
HorstBox is fully ADSL/ADSL2+ compatible and integrate 1 USB 2.0 port, 2 ISDN ports, 3 analog ports, 4 RJ-45 10/100 Mbit ports, the wireless feature is supported by IEEE 802.11g standard and IEEE 802.11b fully compatible.
A little goody for programmers, it seems that D-Link releases freely and officially the source code of the HorstBox, in order that everyone who is experienced in this "hacking" could change and personalize as he/she want the router functionality.
Here's the FTP link.
Let's hope that D-Link will introduce soon on the worldwide market this interesting product, useful, at my advice, specially to professionals and small companies.
