Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. For users using a AVM Fritzbox and XBMC in a Windows environment, I put together a tiny tool to display incoming Calls on the Screen of your XBMC Mediacenter. If you put it in your system’s autostart, it will automatically connect to your Fritzbox and monitor incoming calls.

Travel: We left Bochum 7:30, picked up rental car, one person overslept. Collected uniforms in Düsseldorf, tons of boxes, carried them down three floors, parking hassle.

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I can’t say if UDP would be better for Aion.

Test it yourself; use /ping to check. ...
