I signed up with rsync.net for an off-site filesystem. Opted for geo-redundant version (automated nightly replication to other site) located in Zurich, Switzerland. Very fast speed from Europe and Qatar, good speed with US hosts. Very easy to use from Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Linux and Windows (rsync, ftp, scp, sftp, ssh, WebDAV). Direct integration in Finder, just use “Connect to Server” and enter the hostname address with https. On Linux and FreeBSD 6.x sshfs works like a charm. Easy to install on FreeBSD using ports, just cd /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-sshfs and run make install clean.

Just replaced my C450 IP with S450 IP, mostly for multiple SIP accounts support.

Good things:
- can connect to up to six SIP accounts at the same time, plus gigaset.net
- can map SIP account and fixed line to DECT phones (both outgoing and incoming calls)
- reasonable DECT coverage
- NAT traversal using STUN
- works with asterisk
- S45 handset can be registered to multiple bases, allowing you to chose base or just best signal base

Bad things:
- can not choose what SIP account to use for outgoing calls on a call-by-call basis
- gigaset.net calls never worked for me
- R-key does not work with SIP
- no MWI (Message Waiting Indication) for VoIP calls
- slow handset response sometimes (tested with S45, C45 and C46 handsets)
- no automatic phonebook synchronization between handsets

One very interesting feature would be the possibility to use the Phone Line as a regular FXO port, allowing PSTN-to-VoIP and VoIP-to-PSTN calls.

I’ve had my C450 IP for one month now. Pretty happy with it, good range (at least better than Panasonic and my old Gigaset A-series), stable SIP connection (after firmware upgrade), reasonable battery life. Works with Asterisk (except the R-key to hold/transfer VoIP calls, but you can set the key in features.conf; and MWI).

Just registered n-am.ro and nuam.ro domains.

Web sites are ‘parked’ for now until I choose what to put there.

E-mail web access at mail.n-am.ro.

Also, the Start Page at start.n-am.ro, Calendar at calendar.n-am.ro and Docs and Spreadsheets at docs.n-am.ro. For mail, nuam.ro is aliased to n-am.ro.

If you have ideas about web site content or want an e-mail address in these domains let me know Same for mumu.ro domain.

After more than one month (order placed on February 27, 2007) I still haven’t received the Premier Edition upgrade.

Please see my post on Google Apps discussions:

http://groups.google.com/group/apps-features/browse_thread/thread/aae0d17d398c80a

Never seen such bad and unprofessional support for a (future) paid service and I highly recommend against buying this service.

sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16

gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad0

echo geom_mirror_load="YES" >> /boot/loader.conf

sed -i .orig 's/ad0/mirror/gm0/' /etc/fstab

reboot

gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad2

Replace ad0 with your FreeBSD bootdisk, ad2 with the second (same or larger capacity) disc.
