just called digium using firefly softphone connected to a asterisk server using IAX2 they said that the IAXy device is not in stock and the earliest expected arrival is after a month.
On a dell insipiron 600m laptop with 512 MB RAM each time i maximize or minimize even a small application like putty the firefly softphone looses sound for 1/2 a second. Why is the softphone application so bad that it can not even handle another application being maximized and minimized. This really throws me off !! t On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 12:07:24 -0500, Dana Olson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 15:34:26 -0000, Giles Coochey > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > How about scanning for it's mac address? > > > http://ipscan.sf.net/ipscan.exe > > > > > > > > -- > > > > http://www.umich2.com > > > > > > > > > Digium doesn't label the MAC address on the device, unless it's such a > > > fine print that no one can read it.
