Date: 13 Aug 1994 04:50:52 GMT Organization: University of California, Santa Cruz Lines: 23 Message-ID: <32hjfc$r0i@darkstar.UCSC.EDU> NNTP-Posting-Host: cobweb.ucsc.edu Keywords: voice,telephone,Newvoice,Dialogic Hello net world. I was recently asked if I could make a telephone digital interface card for a PC card work under NetBSD or FreeBSD or Linux. Since I don't know the technical name for the card, let me describe what kind of card I mean. The card allows you to play analog matterial over the phone line. In addition, it performs dtmf decoding, allowing the caller at the other end to pass messages to the software controlling the card. An example card is the Newvoice NV400. Another example is a line of dialogic cards. Is there a driver for any cards of this type available for the free unix-like operating systems? The driver can be encumbered, as long as one can purchase a license for the source. If no such driver is available, can anyone suggest a good company that is willing to give out technical documentation sufficient to construct a driver? If you could mail me responses, I would be most appreciative. Also, I will summarize my findings when I finish the inquiry. many thanks. -Brian <buhrow@cats.ucsc.edu>
