Cisco Systems

GNS3 (dynamips) and Voice-Labs

I hear often that it is hard to practice/demo voice related configurations with GNS3. This is only partially true.
It is correct that GNS3 cannot substitute Multiservice routers like 28xx etc because the DSP resources cannot be emulated. For using T1/E1 or FXS/FXO connections you need the real hardware interfaces and of course another PBX/router interface to connect your T1 to. If you have a double T1 you could use a T1 x-over to let the router do both ends.
For all other configurations like Dial-peers, translation patterns, SIP-UA configurations, CME, ephone registrations, CUBE etc, GNS3 can do the job. Just an example…

Capacitive buttons control all life

Projects involving Conway’s Game of Life and utilizing a Nokia 3310 screen are quite popular with electronics hobbyists. [Droky] put these two together and went one step further by adding capacitive sensors to control the Game of Life. His work is a great example of how to use the Atmel QTouch capacitive sensor (QT100a datasheet). This chip does the heavy lifting that we’ve seen in other touch sensitive solutions. It operates from 2V-5.5V, requires only three capacitors and a resistor, has a one pin active high output, and sells for around $1 in low quantities. One thing [Droky] overlooked…

Is Facebook Taking Over Southeast Asia? No Wonder Friendster Is Trying To Sell

Ben Heck gets sloppy and we love it

[Ben Heck] is a name synonymous with game system hacking. His projects have been seen and praised by people all over the world for both their quality and their ingenuity. He’s so good, in fact, that many of his projects have gone far beyond what we typically think of as hacking. They look and feel like commercial products. While that is a fantastic accomplishment, we have a soft spot for seeing stuff that is truly hacked. This lasted job he did is a great example. The controller needed to work using a single hand, so he hacked it. He was in a…

Introduction to FTDI bitbang mode

It was an interface that launched a thousand hacks. Near trivial to program, enough I/O lines for useful work, and sufficiently fast for a multitude of applications: homebrew logic analyzers, chip programmers, LCD interfaces and LED light shows, to name a few.
Today the parallel printer port is on the brink of extinction (and good riddance, some would say). Largely rendered obsolete by USB, few (if any) new peripherals even include a parallel connector, and today’s shrinking computers — nettops, netbooks, media center PCs — wouldn’t have space for it anyway. That’s great for tidy desks, but not so…

Bank charges are a factor in choosing bank account

The recent news surrounding overdraft fees and other bank charges has highlighted the fact that choosing the right bank account is just as important as choosing the cheapest energy or insurance deal.Last week, RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) and NatWest cut their overdraft charges and unpaid item fees, ahead of a court ruling on the fairness of such charges.However, an overdraft is not an essential feature of a current account – and customers should decide whether they need an overdraft before they open an account.A spokesperson for Think Banking said: “There is a lot of choice on offer when it…
