Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel 29 Sep '18

29 Sep '18

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

Hi Everybody, I have created a remastered Linux CD of Ubuntu 10.10 which contains a selection of Amateur Radio software. Several of you were kind enough to beta test this CD and offer feedback, for which I thank you. This CD has been released and is now available for download from SourceForge: http://kb1oiq-andysham.sourceforge.net/ The software selection is optimized for older x86 32-bit computers that have at least a 1GHz processor and 256MB of memory, but naturally, if you have more than that, the software will work just fine. It uses the icewm window manager, and contains a web browser, graphical file manager, text editor, and other related tools. A short(!) list of the available Amateur Radio related software: aa-analyzer.pl - used with RigExpert AA-xxx antenna analyzers cqrlog - a full featured QSO logging program fldigi - digital modes such as PSK31 flmsg - companion to fldigi, a simple forms management editor for standard message formats flrig - rig control flwkey - modem program for the K1EL Winkeyer series flwrap - companion to fldigi, file encapsulation / compression Fl Moxgen - Moxon Rectangle antenna design program gpredict - satellite tracking grig - rig control software hamlib - radio control library ibp - HF beacons pskmail - send email via PSK31 qrq - CW callsig practice qsstv - SSTV sunclock - track day/night line on Earth svxlink - Echolink client (qtel) TQSL - used with ARRL Logbook of the World TQSL Cert - used with ARRL Logbook of the World wsjt - weak signal communication wspr - weak signal communication xastir - APRS mapping xcwcp - CW code practice xdx - DX cluster TCP/IP client xlog - simpler QSO logging program xnec2c - antenna modeling software xwxapt - display APT images from weather satellites FL_Moxgen and aa-analyzer.pl were written by yours truly and released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version 3). Please feel free to pass this along to other interested parties.
