Bought a Raspberry pi to go with my OBi
giqcass:
Raspberry pi is probably an overkill for most people. It's a great piece of hardware for hobbyist. The Asterdex feature is useful but you do need to speak clearly for it to work. If it doesn't like what you say the first time it just hangs up on you.
Callcentric has a nice telemarketer block function. I used the Auto Attendant to screen calls before I started using Callcentric but it's a little bit more of a pain in the butt creating a whitelist on the Obi. Both the Obi and Callcentric will let you use wildcards.
I'm checking out Vinux and RaspberryVi as you suggested.
Here is what happened to Banana phone.

Hello Project Followers,
I am sorry to announce, but the Banana Phone Project has stopped development as of last month. The field of phone technology and human call validation is rife with patents; market entry without a lot of potential infringement would be difficult, if not impossible.
I am pushing my coding towards other equally as worthy projects, and cannot continue this endeavor any longer.
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support and encouraging messages. They meant the world to a guy who was just starting of his software engineering career (in a national competition, no less).
The world has not seen the last of my code.

I bought the CanaKit Raspberry Pi model B with clear case and USB Power Supply. I'm thinking about throwing incredible PBX on there. I've got an Obi110 and a Obi202 I'll hook up to it. Just waiting on delivery. This should hopefully provide weeks of tinkering fun.
Hey Giqcass -
Do you have any step-by-step guide to install Incredible PBX on RasPi? and also connection layout in reference to Obitalk and DECT phone. Is there any way to continue using Google Voice to make free calls with this set up? I am trying to follow nerdvittles blog, but being newbie, I am struggling.
Are you struggling with the whole RPi thing or only the Incredible PBX installation?
Did you start at the link I gave in the second post of this thread?
What exactly is your question about OBiTALK and DECT phone?
I started with Raspbx installation, which I guess worked well.. but first of all, i have a basic question as to as a home phone user what are the most prominent uses of this set up - RasPi, IncrediblePBX, Obi110 connected to DECT phone? I am a hobbyist and would like to try new things, but I would be delighted to know the nice features that I can explore.
I would like to see the connection diagram and also how RasPi connects to Obi110 (if it does) and then to DECT phone (if it does).
I started with Raspbx then went on with installing IncrediblePBX but as of now, when I boot on RasPi connected to my TV as monitor, there's no display on Component as well as HDMI. I tried reformatting and reimaging SD card with IncrediblePBX but no display. I did get the display at the time of initial install of IncrediblePBX and enabling Hylafax. But not sure what went wrong in between.

1. The RPi and OBi110 connect by Ethernet, preferably each being hard wired to your router but Wi-Fi is also possible as per one of azrobert's posts above. The DECT phone plugs into the 110's PHONE socket. Your POTS line, if you have one, goes into the 110's LINE socket.
2. The RPi does not have component output. You mean "composite".
3. There is a risk of corrupting the contents of the SD card if power is removed before an RPi OS is properly shut down. When re-imaging be sure to follow all the instructions for whichever method you use.
azrobert:
Wifi was very easy to install. I just followed the answer for FAQ on wifi.

I think it's a cleaner install with the adapter. I had the Pi hard wired before I bought a case and the cable seemed huge compared to the Pi board. The adapter I have is on the RPI.ORG's approved list, so maybe I got lucky.

I tried re-formatting and reimaging... Write was successful, but no luck. I will try JUST re-imaging.
In regards to RPi and Obi connection. Is that like below
Router > RPi
Router > Obi
Both are connected to Router but not directly, is that correct?
