Australia’s first IPv6 enabled VPSs are here

As of June 2011, I am no longer employed by AussieHQ. This post is for reference only. Nearly one month ago AussieHQ subsidiary Jumba launched Virtual Private Servers.

Back in 2005 after upgrading to CallManager 4, I updated my previous tutorial to describe Asterisk Voicemail integration using SIP instead of H323. These instructions are below. Overview Asterisk provides a flexible voicemail system that is a viable option for companies using Cisco Callmanager who do not wish to implement Cisco Unity.

The tutorial was quite popular, but went offline when I forgot to renew the domain it was hosted on. I have recreated the tutorial below. Note: You will need a bidirectional calling link between Asterisk and

NEC Ranger Pages Removed

Update: The pages are now back online. You can read more about it here. One of the sections that existed on previous versions of my site was the NEC Ranger AK resource guide.
