| 15:55.34 | CosmicPenguin | Yeah, but different |
| 15:55.43 | CosmicPenguin | You really want to avoid Sigma |
| 15:55.58 | CosmicPenguin | they're full of it - they talk big about Linux, but they are not willing to work with you |
| 15:56.27 | CosmicPenguin | So you have to put up with whatever crap code they decide to put out that week. They have one super intellegent Linux coder and a bunch of idiots |

| 15:57.51 | CosmicPenguin | yep |
| 15:58.33 | CosmicPenguin | There are two things that torpedoed that STB project, and Sigma was one of them |

| 16:02.10 | andersee | prpplague: image devices? like cameras? |
| 16:02.24 | prpplague | andersee: we have alot of thin client suff with things like camera's, image scanners, signature capture devices |
| 16:02.44 | prpplague | andersee: alot of the functionality is duplicated right now |
| 16:02.50 | andersee | ahh |
| 16:03.18 | andersee | prpplague: sortof like imagemagick, which uses a lib to do most everything |
| 16:03.30 | prpplague | andersee: yea |
| 16:04.20 | prpplague | andersee: i've been using lzo to compress the files for transfer between the client and server using a network sockets |
| 16:04.42 | prpplague | andersee: but i have stand alone apps that have evolved for each one of the devices |
| 16:05.04 | prpplague | andersee: they all need to be re-writtin into a single app with a consistant api |

| 16:21.09 | CosmicPenguin | Thats puedo Linux support on the Via |
| 16:21.49 | CosmicPenguin | You can use a via, of course, but I wouldn't count on the MPEG decoder |
| 16:25.34 | marklwrk | what other mpeg decoder can you count on, though? at least the via hardware decoding is working - just not propagated into the kernel, xine, X etc code bases yet. |
| 16:26.51 | CosmicPenguin | Its not propagated into anything, and it never will be |
| 16:27.22 | CosmicPenguin | If you chose to use it, you will be forced to use a full X 4.3 rollout, and basically depend on Via to tell you the way to go home |
| 16:27.43 | CosmicPenguin | You are given very little choice |
| 16:28.06 | CosmicPenguin | And the thing that burns me up is that since they gave away a little Linux knowledge, people think they are this great linux company |

| 16:32.38 | CosmicPenguin | I'm still waiting for the great Linux multimedia company to arrive |
| 16:32.46 | kergoth | i used to really like via's cards, but i've really taken to my new radeon |

| 22:10.16 | sorphin | pattieja: yo |
| 22:10.19 | sorphin | pattieja: you mentioned VoIP |
| 22:10.32 | pattieja | yellow |
| 22:10.34 | pattieja | :) |
| 22:10.36 | pattieja | sorphin: yep |
| 22:10.50 | pattieja | lie detector glasses? |
| 22:11.32 | sorphin | pattieja: yellow? |
| 22:11.44 | pattieja | in response to your 'yo' |
| 22:11.58 | pattieja | maybe I should have written it yello' |
| 22:12.34 | sorphin | pattieja: so who/what are you using for VoIP ? |
| 22:13.02 | pattieja | sorphin: many things for the software client phones, but only Asterisk for the PBX/server side of things |
| 22:13.20 | pattieja | sorphin: I haven't found a satisfactory software phone client for my situation running Linux |
| 22:13.31 | pattieja | one of the best clients I've found for Windows is DIAX |
| 22:13.38 | pattieja | for IAX protocol |
| 22:13.43 | pattieja | and X-Lite for SIP protocol |
| 22:14.14 | pattieja | I've been able to run X-Lite under Wine on Linux, but it doesn't work optimally as far as the sound quality is concerned when transmitting between client endpoints |
| 22:14.56 | pattieja | it works great when listening to conversations/voice prompts/voice mail and when leaving voicemail, but it does not work well when transmitting audio to another user |
| 22:14.58 | sorphin | pattieja: but who are you doing it through? |
| 22:15.06 | pattieja | my workstation at home |
| 22:15.34 | pattieja | I installed the latest .deb packages from unstable and set it up on my home workstation running an install of Knoppix |
| 22:15.52 | sorphin | pattieja: no |
| 22:15.55 | pattieja | then I port forwarded the proper ports through my firewall directly to my workstation |
| 22:16.05 | sorphin | .pat: somewhere out in the wild blue yander |
| 22:16.10 | pattieja | ehh? |
| 22:16.21 | pattieja | it's yonder |
| 22:16.27 | sorphin | i know |
| 22:16.30 | pattieja | oh |
| 22:16.34 | sorphin | bad day already typing suffers |
| 22:16.34 | pattieja | k |
| 22:16.46 | sorphin | pattieja: usually when you do VOIP |
| 22:16.55 | sorphin | it's through someone like vonage or whatever the hell |
| 22:16.55 | pattieja | usually after work |
| 22:17.18 | pattieja | uhhh. I don't use anyone as my VoIP provider. I am my own provider. :) |
| 22:17.26 | sorphin | who's providing your your phone # translation :P |
| 22:17.35 | pattieja | I setup the dialplan in Asterisk myself |
| 22:17.44 | pattieja | I am the translator. :) |
| 22:17.56 | pattieja | I choose which extensions map to which clients and who can call, etc. |
| 22:18.44 | pattieja | I don't have a guest account at the moment since I don't have the hardware to handle any "other" traffic (iykwim) |
| 22:19.03 | pattieja | ehh? |
| 22:19.06 | pattieja | why are you lost? |
| 22:19.18 | sorphin | pattieja: where did you get the phone #'s / what's telling to route to YOU |
| 22:19.36 | pattieja | I AM!!! |
| 22:19.40 | pattieja | :) |
| 22:19.58 | pattieja | I am my own VoIP provider (if you will) |
| 22:20.10 | sorphin | uhh |
| 22:20.15 | pattieja | only those people I give access to the system can dial to it, dial other people, etc. |
| 22:20.19 | sjhill | okay... |
| 22:20.24 | sorphin | pattieja: uhh |
| 22:20.26 | pattieja | sorphin: what are you having problems with? |
| 22:20.40 | sorphin | and you just pulled these phone numbers out of your ass or what? |
| 22:20.55 | pattieja | exactly |
| 22:21.00 | pattieja | for example: on my system, my extension is 5002 |
| 22:21.12 | pattieja | I've setup other extensions for the members of my family |
| 22:22.26 | pattieja | if they want to call me (wherever on the Internet I may be that allows IAX protocol ports to pass), they dial 5002, and (what do you know) it rings my computer |
| 22:25.15 | sorphin | pattieja: ok, it's miswording then |
| 22:25.22 | sorphin | pattieja: when i think VOIP |
| 22:25.39 | pattieja | I established the "phone number" to client mappings |
| 22:25.39 | sorphin | i'm tking, i call you from a real phone |
| 22:25.39 | sorphin | talking even |
| 22:25.48 | pattieja | sorphin: nope. I don't have a translator service or the PSTN equipment to plug into my workstation at home |
| 22:25.48 | sorphin | and it'll, based on the phone #, eventually get routing to SIPland |
| 22:25.48 | pattieja | all this is purely Internet based |
| 22:25.48 | sorphin | pattieja: that's where the misunderstaning came in |
| 22:25.48 | pattieja | sorphin: sorry |
| 22:25.48 | sorphin | pattieja: no worries |
| 22:25.48 | pattieja | guess I wasn't clear enough in the beginning |
| 22:25.48 | sorphin | it wouldn't help me then ;) |
| 22:25.48 | pattieja | sorphin: basically I'm doing it to be able to reduce/remove long distance costs for communication with other members of the family and friends |
| 22:25.48 | file | a service was recently launched that allows a FWD (free world dialup) customer to get a Washington phone number forwarded to their account |
| 22:25.48 | sorphin | pattieja: as long as htey have access to the net/the right setup |
| 22:25.48 | file | maybe that could give you a phone number pattieja... somehow |
| 22:25.48 | pattieja | there are also other VoIP -> PSTN termination companies that will give you what you want |
| 22:25.49 | sorphin | file: efax does similar w/ fax stuff |
| 22:25.49 | sorphin | pattieja: i know |
| 22:25.49 | pattieja | file: I don't want/need a "real" phone number |
| 22:25.49 | sorphin | pattieja: mci will :P |
| 22:25.49 | pattieja | sorphin: how much? |
| 22:25.49 | file | well this was for reference. |
| 22:25.49 | pattieja | sorphin: I've heard of some companies doing it for around $5/month |
| 22:25.49 | file | and this FWD number is free. |
| 22:25.50 | pattieja | can't remember who they were |
| 22:25.50 | pattieja | file: but is the "real" phone number from FWD free? |
| 22:25.50 | sorphin | pattieja: never heard of just that basic bit |
| 22:25.50 | file | pattieja: all free |
| 22:25.50 | pattieja | file: even the PSTN termination? |
| 22:25.50 | file | the service forwards the incoming phone call to a FWD VOIP customer |
| 22:25.56 | file | also provides voicemail |
| 22:25.58 | pattieja | wow |
| 22:26.05 | file | I'm trying to remember the name... |
| 22:26.07 | pattieja | wonder how long that's going to last |
| 22:26.52 | pattieja | sorphin: I know that X-Lite now has a partnership or agreement or something with a company that will do PSTN -> SIP using the X-Lite/X-Pro SIP software phones |
| 22:28.08 | file | http://www.ipkall.com/ |
| 22:29.28 | sorphin | sounds too good to be true |
| 22:30.00 | file | it's from the same people who do k7.net |
| 22:30.19 | file | International Telecom LTD |
| 22:30.34 | sorphin | how can they do it free... |
| 22:31.19 | pattieja | sorphin: first thing I noticed, they do not provide customer service |
| 22:31.49 | sorphin | pattieja: not that i've ever needed that ;) :) |
