make Linux "talk to" a modem or more specifically, make the modem talk to
the user and handle the incoming touch-tone codes.  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.
