Confident with Unotel: Move more stuff over
KP:
- Move 8(?) normal lines to 4 ISDN lines at Unotel (those chained to dial into the master number, preserving the chain!)
- Move ISDN line to Unotel (after locating it physically and testing that it actually works)
- Convert fax number into a secondary number on existing ISDN line (closing down the old fax line)
FL:
- Move 1 normal line to Unotel, and convert it to ISDN2 (closing down 2 old lines)
Completing the transitions
KP:
- Move/convert/merge remaining normal lines to Unotel ISDN2 lines and/or VoIP ones (based on own experiences with VoIP and FL experiences with ISDN2)
- Move remaining cellphone to Unotel (now that Anders is experienced in advicing about it).
FL:
- Move/convert/merge 2 more normal lines to Unotel ISDN2 lines.
- Move remaining normal line to Unotel (keeping it as a normal line to not weaken security).
Geek stuff
Setup a VoIP PBX locally at Homebase, switching between Unotel VoIP line, local accounts for each user, and other Jonas:RedPill VoIP islands.
- Reuse VoIP routers from Unotel (they are bought, not rented) for outposts.
