So, I finally am able to experience this VoIP thing, as it is meant to be.

After 3 days of head banging frustration (more on that later) I was finally able to get my PAP2 up and running.

I’m in the middle of my first call right now, and what I am willing to say, so far, is that the sound quality is acceptable. It’s not wonderful, there is a static buzzing in the background, but I am cheating at using my cell phone, so that might have something to do with it. I am not sure yet. More on how I am using the cell phone later. =)

So, I have been using Opiate for the last four months as my primary machine.

All in all, I am exceptionally happy with this machine. It has proven with a couple of small exceptions, to be an incredibly robust, and reliable machine. It accomplishes everything that Stinkfist did for me, as well as being mobile.

Let’s start out with the bad, and get that out of the way, shall we?
