I wanted to make my slug running Asterisk do wakeup calls, since I currently pay $11/month for a daily wakeup call service and they’ll only try up to 4 times. As my starting point, I was using this dialplan from the-asterisk-book.com: [hotel-intern] exten => _*77*XXXXXXXXXXXX,1,Answer() exten => _*77*XXXXXXXXXXXX,n,Set(year=${EXTEN:4:4}) exten => _*77*XXXXXXXXXXXX,n,Set(month=${EXTEN:8:2}) exten => _*77*XXXXXXXXXXXX,n,Set(day=${EXTEN:10:2}) exten [...]

I’ve been fiddling around with Asterisk on a slug box. It’s working pretty well, but since I don’t want to deal with compiling things for the slug, I’m limited to the Asterisk modules that are available as binaries (not many). I’m also using the older Asterisk 1.2. This has led to some interesting hacks to [...]

Since I’m on my second of what will probably be 4 or 5 unslung NSLU2 “slug” units (with identical 1GB flash drives from eBay), I figured it was time to write down specific step-by-step directions, if perhaps only for my own use later. (As an aside, having the two ethernet ports on my Mac Pro [...]
Today, not only did the NSLU2 that I bought on eBay arrive, but the red anodized aluminum case for my Alix arrived, too. Getting the NSLU2 to run “unslung” from a 1GB flash drive was a royal pain. If I do a second one, I’ll have to verify my technique, but it seems that the [...]

The OpenBSD router machines I installed at my place and my parents’ have been failing and I’ve been doing band-aid fixes of little things as they break, but it’s annoying. My new idea is to use hardware routers, but to install one or more “slug” NSLU2 devices, unslung, inside each network to provide DNS and [...]
