Relatively speaking, today was a bad day. I did manage to setup the Vonage equipment and it works without a hitch. They also offer Vonage Third Party Call Control API that looks quite promising for developing custom applications. The remainder of the day disappeared while helping Adam recover data off freya. I’m going to scrap the system and try again with FreeBSD 5.3, mainly because it’s different, and I because I enjoy trying out new operating systems.

While I did succesfully recover the data with the use of the INSERT Rescue CD, things went downhill from here. The freya server has an esoteric SMC 8416 ISA card which the company itself no longer supports. I eventually found the EZStart setup disk from the Linux Router project, and I hope to get everything sorted out tomorrow.
