@coliver My own PBX.
Do you have hardware you can run it on?
Not currently, no. I wanted to compile information before I purchased
Well you can easily run a PBX in a VM. FreePBX is the way to go and is basically an appliance. Download the iso and install it on a VM. Then look at options for SIP trunks (or use Google Voice) and you will be good to go.
That's it? Crazy. You think I should go with the Ubiquiti phones? I read something (granted it was from 2015) that said the security gateway was required for them. Unsure if this is still the case.
They work with any standard SIP based system. They are designed to work with the USG though.
I do not see the value int he devices. They are too expensive for general use desk phones.
I mean, yeah, I would love to have one and see if they work well. But they are just too expensive to be realistically used everywhere.
Get a Yealink T40P for like $80 or less for home.

@scottalanmiller From what I read, Ubiquiti phones require the security appliance currently.
They do not and never have. They are designed for it. they work with any SIP based PBX.

^my reference point. Granted it was awhile ago. They probably changed it (I'm sure you would know better than I).

The accepted solution (from a UBNT employee) says you don't need the USG.

Yeah but there is another employee further down that says it is required. It also says initially in bold though.

I'm keeping my eye on it... MSI and Razer make some good laptops although they are a bit overpriced.

So much for the "give it 10 minutes and try again" from the spam filter folks. The obviously have a bigger problem than they admitted to on the phone w/ me.

Ramen is actually one of the very few things I won't put cheese on...

Are any yours?
People frown on calling yourself a babysitter in those circumstances.
Or so I have been told.

Two of them. The 5 and 7 year olds. The 6 and 8 are not mine.

A friend of mine is doing some data security training at her job today (works at a mortgage bank). From what she told me, it would have been really easy for someone in her office to send wire transfers because there were no checks and balances for the routine. After a near-miss on a phishing email (someone nearly transferred $3 mil to the bad guys), they are stepping up internal training (a win for everyone), and she said they are even training on how to spot "vishing", which is apparently phishing via voicemail. I had never heard of that one.
