    Small Office Phone System Change & VOIP

    Thank you ucxguy and curlycord! Now to do some homework and make a decision. Thanks for confirming the analog jacks on the back of the modem are just one phone conversation at a time on each line. When my customer ordered VOIP from AT&T she was probably thinking it was going to be true VOIP...

    Small Office Phone System Change & VOIP

    I am looking at the E-MetroTel Galaxy Mini for a 5-person office. They now have AT&T for their internet and can get VOIP with them but their VOIP gets converted to a RJ11 jack on the back of the gateway. Who would recommend for a VOIP provider that would be used with the Galaxy Mini? I am in...

    Voice Logic

    I have read of previous posts about Voice Logic phone systems. Business Communications (http://amerbiz.com/) is now the importer for these units. I just order a set of new EPROM’s ($32.50) and a manual ($10.00) from them (5/16/05). The person I talked to was very nice and informative. He said...

    Java virtual machine

    How can I detect if a user's computer has the Java virtual machine installed and if not, pop up a message box and direct them to Sun's Web site where they can download it? Thanks.

    Right Click on Desktop Icons Freezes XP

    Check your Mouse properties in the Control Panel. Make sure the right click function is set correctly. Does the right click work correctly in Windows Explorer?

    Serial port problems with Win XP

    Put a network card in each and use a crossover cable. Then you will have a simple two-computer network. You can then use Windows Explorer for transferring files or even Replicator by Karenware (www.karenware.com) and it is free.

    user accounts in XP home

    Do have a the same protocol installed and configured on each machine (NetBEUI or IPX/SPX) and Client for Microsoft Networks installed and checked? Can the Windows 2000 access the XP machine?

    user accounts in XP home

    Try this: Add user to the "User and Passwords" section of Control Panel. The name has to be the same as the XP login name. Give user Administrative rights. See if this XP user can see and map to the Windows 2000. If not, then on the Windows 2000 machine, In Windows Explorer, do a...

    Test Number Needed

    RE: Bobg1 (TechnicalUser) In some locations 511, 611, or 711 might also be assigned for readback services. This reminded me of when I was little and we were on a party line and you would call 1193 or 1194 and hang up and your phone would ring along with a neighbor that the phone company had...

    Test Number Needed

    Hey everyone, you may want to check out this Web page (http://www.ma-bell.com/pimag.htm) and scroll down to the 01073217709889664 question. Quite informative. After I dialed the 01073217709889664 number I realized that 10-10 is normally a paid toll call and surely did not want to have to be...

    Thanks jeffmoss26 and crower both numbers work here in Memphis on a POTS line. I will have to test them on a Centrex system tomorrow. Skip555 I thought about using a cell phone also but I am probably the last person on earth that does not have one. I am sure you don't care to hear my excuses. I...

    Test Number Needed

    Does anyone know what the BellSouth test number is for Memphis, Tenn.? The test number I use to use no longer works. It would help me when working on unmarked lines to know which phone number is on each pair. Thanks.

    html gets cut off when I upload to ISP

    Have you tried a friend's computer and ISP to try the upload? I use FrontPage and have downloaded so many tweaking programs that one particular server I would publish to, FrontPage would show everything going OK but then bomb out saying something about "timed out". But on another...
