I mentioned this to various people earlier, and they seemed interested, so I thought I'd vaguely float the idea here.
Would people be interested in a VoIP (Voice over IP) talk? I've been playing with it this week and setting up a connection to the normal phone network using an ISDN line, with a hardware VoIP phone locally. I'm also planning to look at Linux based softphones over the next week and should have a magic PCI card coming which will let me hook up to a normal phone line, so hopefully should be able to come up with bits of interest to anyone who's curious about this stuff.
Takers? Do we have any locations for talks were we could get a reasonable net connection for a live demonstration perhaps?

Same here - interested in finding out a bit more about this. As for the Broadband hardware - I use aDraytek Vigor all in one router /modem at work - never had a problem in the past two years.
At home an ethernet X-modem from ADSL nation, in conjunction with a Buffalo Airstation. This has worked fine with a combination of Yellowdog Linux, OSX and Mac os9 no problems. Still unplugged it last night though - anyone with experience of how ADSL modems handle lightning!? Phil
