Apple iMac – 27″ Unibody

Linksys WRT54G (Qty 2)

Linksys released the WRT54GL in 2005 to support third-party firmware based on Linux, after the original WRT54G line was switched from Linux to VxWorks, starting with version 5. The WRT54GL is technically a reissue of the version 4 WRT54G.

I use these things as routers, firewalls, and wireless bridges.

OBi100 VoIP Telephone Adapter and Voice Service Bridge

The OBi100 has one phone port. It supports Google Voice, SIP & OBiTALK VoIP services. Use the OBi100 when you do not need an analog line to a traditional telephone network or service. The OBi100 is perfect for customers who do not have a traditional telco phone service and want the savings and simplicity of using a VoIP service for all their calls.

I have this thing wired into my home’s old traditional telco circuit and configured to use Google Voice.
