Title: February Meeting – VOIP talk
Location: Tim Horton’s, 660 Eagleson Rd, Kanata
Link out: Click here
Description: I went and checked out the Tim Horton’s on Eagleson Rd. It certainly has the capacity and there are several tables that do not have fixed chairs, so we can “arrange” the seating a little to make things work.

We will be talking about small PBX units and their applicability in the home or small office. This was prompted by the little PBX I brought to the last meeting. I have an additional small PBX I’ll bring along this time as well as some other devices. All of it is in working order and I have actually used each of the devices.

I’ll also talk about debugging the little PBX I brought last month.

Bring your VOIP questions.

Just as a continual aside, suggestions for an alternate/permanent location are welcome.
