I had the same problems and i had solved it using this command
sudo chown -R root:root /usr/local/etc/voipong/modules/modvocoder_pcm*
Also for the voipongnets, i created the file by
touch /usr/local/etc/voipong/voipongnets
This will solve the error below.

Hello,
I'm searching VoIPong program, but I can't access to www.enderunix.org. Could you send it to my email: anh2th@gmail.com. Thank you very much.

Can anyone recommend the top MSP utility for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central network tools
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
