A@H 2.8 is out

Installing it under Virtual Server R2 right now.  A couple of weeks ago I installed the fresh new Linux Additions for VS R2 in an older version of A@H I had loaded previously.  I was mainly curious to see if the clock kept better time.  So far it'…

A@H new?

I usually enjoy Andy Abrahmson's writing but come on Andy...this post makes it sound like Asterisk@Home is somthing new.  As anyone reading my blog could tell, it's been around for quite a while.  And I didn't even get into it until it…

CallManager forums
