You can connect to the zultys/mxie server from your iphone by downloading a free SIP phone application. I used Media5-fone which is a free softphone. It allows you to make calls purely off the wifi/data network through your Zultys VOIP server at work.
While zultys hasn’t yet created it’s own iphone application, this appears to be the next best thing.
Update: Zultys new official iphone application is called iConnected and is available in the app store.
After downloading the application from the App Store, go to the main iphone settings icon, click on media5-fone, put in your server’s address, username, and password and other settings, and start using the app.
Outgoing calls work perfectly and will send out your work caller ID. Incoming calls however require you to keep a constant connection to the MX250 which drains batterylife, so it’s a toss up. To keep a constant connection, go into the apps settings and disable powersaving mode.
Enjoy!

Best Blue-tooth headset I’ve ever used. Comfortable, Range and sound are good, battery lasts quite a while. My favorite part about the HBH-608 is that the ear piece doesn’t have to go in your ear. It kinda sits outside your ear. You can find them on Amazon for under $20. A very good deal if you ask me. I highly recommend these over the Plantronics or Motorola’s.
I’ve been a long user and supporter of VMWare , however there are just too many problems and glitches. I delt with them because it was a good program, but then I discovered Virtual box.
Things I didn’t like about VMWare Server.
The process to install, and get a serial for the program was lengthy.
The download was huge and took forever.
Version 1.0 had issues with vista and would cause it to crash. VMWare Server Crashes Vista
Version 2.0 was weird and not user friendly.
With virtual box I didn’t have any of those problems.
The download was quick and easy, no vista issues and very user friendly. Forgot to mention Virtual Box is FreeWare!
A list of the places I shop to get the best deals on my geek gear.
MonoPrice.Com – The best place for cables. Cat5, HDMI, VGA.
RecoupIT.com – Really good for Used desktops, LCD monitors and TV’s. I bought a refurbished TV from here saving about $300 and It came in perfectly brand new condition. I’ve also made recommendations for others to by desktops from here, cheapest I’ve found.
TigerDirect.com – While the prices may be slightly higher than NewEgg, they do offer local shops in some areas which is nice, and the pricing is usually competitive. I haven’t liked them since they turned all of there stores into CompUSA, They’ve changed policies and are becoming more and more like a Best Buy every day. I still shop there.
NewEgg.com – Free shipping on a ton of products, and usually very competitive prices. Great customer service and a ton of reviews.
There are a lot of great programs out there for automatically backing up your sever. I was looking for the following features in a server backup program.
-Image Backups, So I could restore the entire Server quickly.
-Automatic, and reliable
-Could backup multiple PC’s and not just the computer it was installed on.
-Could backup my entire network
-Easy to use
In the end I found Macrium Reflect which had all these features for around $40. Other software I looked at was complicated, and had a price tag of over $1000. Macrium Reflect was clearly the winner and I’ve been using it for over a year now.
