    All of the linked XMPP-phonenetwork bridging services appear to be United States + Canada only, so I have no hope of trying or testing this software. The best I have in my country …

    Depends on the fuse time rating and the inrush current for the power supply (which can sometimes be more than 10A). Some 1A fuses might occasionally blow when you turn the unit on.…

    Yeah I don't trust the firmware they come with. It's some customised variant of OpenWRT, but I replace it with vanilla immediately. At least this is very easy (simply upload the ne…
