VoIP Roundup - Sat Feb 17, 2007
Security and IP Communications
VoIP News has several articles related to VoIP security worth reading: 6 steps to VoIP security, A guide to understanding the VoIP security threat, and 5 ways to secure a wireless VoIP system. The latter is especially timely, what with the expectation of drive-by hacking becoming a threat to unsecured Wi-Fi networks.
Launching A New Generation of Jerky Boys-style VoIP Prank Callers?
I've mentioned the Jerky Boys before, when talking about now-deceased comedienne Lucille Ball doing prank calls. Well Callitfake
not only helps budding pranksters, it lets you do it from a browser.
What's more, you can type in whatever you want to say and choose the
voice it'll be read in. Oh joy. Just what we need.
Now This Is A Really Old School Phone
Not only does Jaht's SkyVogue phone come in classic styling probably dating to around the 1950s, it's a Skype phone with a USB connection.
I can't tell if the rotary dial is functional, but I seriously doubt
Skypers with short attention spans have the patience to wait for the
darn thing to complete a single turn, let alone add area code and
internation calling code.
