Hola Diego, If the cabins are within wifi reach of each other, you might look into doing a mesh network with Linksys WRT-54G routers running Sveasoft in WDS mode. Then you can place a router in each cabin with a VoIP phone or an ATA adapter and regular phone. Off the main router you have a PC as a firewall/sqid server/etc. connected to your internet connection. Also running on this PC is a VoIP server like Asterisk running SIP and/or IAX, and possibly even able to connect with Skype using the ChanSkype driver. Depending on configuration, you might need only one SIP account with a provider (or even just Skype), and thus one dial-in number, and via Asterisk you can assign extensions to each cabin for dial-in number, voicemail, etc. Also, the WDS mesh network would provide wifi coverage permitting your guests to use their laptops to surf, as well as letting them use their VoIP softphone/Skype/etc. of choice from their laptops, or a PC you have in the cabins for their use. I hope this helps, and please send me (off-list) some details of where your cabins are located, etc. Some gringos may need to jump fences too someday ;-) Cheers, --scm Shawn Merdinger Security Researcher On 7/20/08, Diego Garcia <diegogarciamendoza () gmail com> wrote:
Hi, My name is Diego and i'm from Mexico City. I want some advice about the best solution for Call Cabins with VoIP, cause i want to install some cabins in several places in south of Mexico and Guatemala. I'll use Satellital Internet in few cases cause there are in remote places inside the jungle. But first i want to talk about which can be the best solution for this. I was thinking in voip phones connected to a router and all to a SIP server, maybe with gizmo.com Another solution is one PC with 4 USB ports connected to a USB phones running 4 different VoIP clients like Gizmo or Skype (Maybe i need to know better providers, if u can recommend me one I'm gonna thank a lot). Or another idea is about a Linksys PAP and some PSTN phones. I hope anyone can help me decide what is the better solution for this. Thanks in advance for reading this. Best regards, Diego GarcĂa Mendoza PS: Excuse my english :P
