    More VOIP article coverage?

    I would second that, though I would also add that having a 'getting started' guide that gets updated periodically would be nice. I know what asterisk is, I know - in theory - how it gets to the outside world (i.e. the 'real' telephone lines), and I have some idea that there are devices I could...

    Time for New Wireless/gigabit router i think, recommendations?

    Easy! I just did this - the electrician wasn't cheap (turns out my house has fireblocks, which they had to drill thru), and it took a bit of explaining to get them to understand that all I needed them to do was run the wire, but now I have hard-wired internet to my HTPC, which was definitely...

    NAS with BitTorrent

    I noticed a number of announcements recently about BitTorrent support on various NASs. Is anyone using these? I assume when they refer to 'support' they mean a client running on the NAS, yes? Do you then use a client on your computer of choice, or is it generally web-based administration? I'm...
