Re: [PLUG] Telephony question


You should be able to use vgetty and a voice-modem to handle this. It
might be tough 
setting it all up, but it is a lot cheaper than going the other routes
you mention 
if you can get it to work.

The program is a hack on mgetty, and it can read & write the audio
stream 
that the voice modems deal with.

Is a modem even appropriate for this type of application or should I look at something like a Brooktrout technology "Prelude" series "Duet" card(*).  The client has one phone line and that's really all they need with only 30 users.  Many of the things I find on the web are talking about T1, Voice-over-IP, Central switching, etc.  I've checked out openh323.org, opengatekeeper.org, voxilla.org, linuxtelephony.org.  None seem to address this type of application.
