My Own PABX
I have sucessfully setup a VOIP PABX (Phone System) with 3 extensions in my home using free software and a 2 special pieces of hardware. At the moment I can’t dial out but who needs that. I can receive calls from outside and voice mail working. Eventually the system will tell the cricket scores when someone dials “6″.
For those of you wondering what this has to do with poverty reduction, it’s about cost cutting and improving efficiency at the same time. I should be able to save the project a lot of money doing a homebrew PABX system.. I hope. And the cricket scores, well this is India.

Good going, David. I’m doing home brew, you’re doing homebrew PABX systems. I hope it does work brilliantly for EHA.

Although normally when open-source doesn’t work you only lose your job. The stakes are higher with your hospital. If it fails people won’t be able to get the cricket score.
