Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel
Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John

Hash: SHA1
Hi Everybody,
We have a WLUG meeting scheduled for Wednesday, 21-may-2008, at 7:00 PM
in the Access Grid room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA.
I can't update the website...it is currently unreachable.
This will be a "Birds of a Feather" meeting where any and all topics
related to Linux will be fair game. If anybody has one of those Asus
Eee PCs running Linux, bring it along (so I can raffle it). ;-)
We should also start planning for our summer BBQ. If anybody would like
to host the BBQ, please let us know.
Naturally, we'll go out for food after the meeting.
See ya there!
Andy

Self-Introduction and LinuxGlobe Invitation
by Markus McLaughlin
Hello everyone, my name is Markus McLaughlin, I am both a member of the
Fedora Project and a Linux blogger with a blog at
http://linuxglobe.wordpress.com. About 5 years ago, I became a fan
of Linux but did not actually use it until I bought my first Mac, which was
a Mini, I now use an Intel
iMac and I run Fedora 9, Ubuntu 8.04, and openSUSE in VMware Fusion. I want
to reach out
to other Linux hobbyists AND writers who want to promote Linux. What I want
to do with my blog
is to add other Writers who want to both promote Linux and help those who
don't know what to do
with it, with columns. Hopefully, Red Hat, Novell, and other companies will
want to help fund a
major Linux Magazine right here in North America. I want to help fill a
niche that needs to be
filled and HELP those who can't afford a Windows/Mac computer have free
tools, internet access,
and an inexpensive used laptop/desktop. Anyway, if anyone here has any
ideas on what we can do together to promote Linux in this part of
Massachusetts, PLEASE contact me. Fedora 9, IMHO, is much better than
Ubuntu, so please check out the Fedora site at
http://fedoraproject.orgsoon! Onward and forward!!!

port security question
by Simeon MacMillen
I'm trying to set up Echolink (amateur radio software) on Ubuntu
(through WINE). My computer failed the firewall tests -the
troubleshooting material recommended the following:
Allow UDP destination ports 5198-5199 between Internet and PC in both directions
Allow TCP (source port any, destination port 5200) from PC to Internet
What security risks do I introduce by doing this? (Is it worth the risk?)
Thanks,
Simeon MacMillen
P.S. I've been on the Wlug mailing list for a year, though I've only
managed to make it to one meeting so far.
