If your recording device records ADPCM .WAVs then you will know that you can’t open these files in sound editors like Audacity. If you search online you will find that most conversion applications like CDex don’t support this format either. I couldn’t find any free or open source program to convert this type of file until I opened it in Windows Sound Recorder. Windows Sound Recorder which comes with Windows is able to convert ADPCM to MP3. First open the file and then choose File > Properties.

I am always looking for open smtp, ssh, or sip servers. This is the routine that I have set up to scan for these open hosts. In order to set this up for yourself you will need to have Nmap and AutoIt installed. If you are using the non-install version of Nmap then you will need to add the Nmap directory to PATH.

Recently I have switched from trixbox to Elastix, and there is quite a difference. They both support features like call recording, time groups, ring groups, voicemail, IVRs, call history, dial-patterns, etc. A big difference is that Elastix supports fax, so you can send faxes with a program called WinprintHylafax or JHylaFAX. You can also receive faxes by having a .pdf document emailed to any address. It also has an IM server that supports many different clients, so it would be easy to create a secure chat for your company. Another big feature Elastix has over trixbox is that it has RoundCube Webmail. This is great if your company does not currently have a solution for email. Read the rest of this entry »
