Ask HN: What VoIP solution do you use for remote pair-programming?
Next my team is splitting between continent.
To prepare for this move, we started using tmux (I highly recommend Brian P. Hogan tmux book (http://pragprog.com/book/bhtmux/tmux).
While tmux is awesome and it's a shame we haven't used until now, Skype and Google Talk's connection isn't stable enough for an 8 hour pairing session, we need a more stable solution.
I've heard about Mumble (https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble) but haven't yet tried it.
What VoIP solutions do you use for pairing?
- noonespecial 14y agoWe gave up on trying to run software on the dev machines for VOIP and went with GrandStream GXV-3175's (with asterisk in the middle on a datacenter server). It was expensive (like $300 each) but it works better than any software solution we could find, even Facetime.
- almog 14y agoWhat free softwares did you try before going for GrandStream?
- lemonade 14y agoIf you want a command line client, try the sip example client that is part of the SIP SIMPLE client SDK at http://sipsimpleclient.com http://sipsimpleclient.com. If you want a GUI you can try Blink (http://icanblink.com http://icanblink.com). Both work great with Sylk server (http://sylkserver.com/ http://sylkserver.com/) on the server side.
