Here is a screenshot of v0.12:

I got so motivated that I decided to rewrite the frontend in a new AJAX library. This cut load times from 7 seconds down to 2 seconds! Its very snappy now. Here is the new version 0.20 which is using the CiUI JavaScript interface

I hope to release version 0.20 in the next few days.

aptitude install bison flex libncurses5-dev build-essential

- Distinctive ring
- Mother-in-law logic (aka ex-girlfriend logic)

hip, for a finite set of numbers (or a match of numbers)
- ring only one of the phones depending on who’s calling
- DND
- room-to-room calls
- Set up a meetme conference that you can use at the drop of a hat, e.g.
to get a bunch of people together to sing happy birthday to your cat
- TTS announcing who’s calling. aka couch potato caller ID
- caller ID pops up on the screen of your laptop/desktop/whatever – aka
computer geek caller ID
