VOIP Hacks
Ted Wallingford, VoIP Hacks: Tips and Tools
for Internet Telephony, O'Reilly
Tons of things to play with here on your way to cheaper
phone calls. To the general public, VoIP means Skype but
there's more to it than that plus there all all sorts of apps
that enlarge the experience and variously make it as
complicated or as simple as you like.
As usual with the Hacks series, all platforms are
talked about and, as it happens, due to the popularity of
VoIP, there is a fair bit to talk about.
Here we learn about Analogue Telephony Adaptors and
their firmware as a first shot and we go on through 306
pages covering eveything from VoIP while fragging to
conrolling the lights with your IP phone. Naturally
enough there are sections on Skype and Asterix.
Lots of fun to be had here.
