IP Telephone Exchange (IPTX) Project Site

Description

The IP Telephone Exchange Project is a simple telephone switching project indended for use by Computer Science / Engineering students enrolled in the three courses CS445-7 / ECE451-3. This project allows students to incorporate real hardware (using IP phones from Nortel) into their projects, giving them more of a feel for the real world issues of embedded development.
