Hi,
Can anyone recommend a USB phone that can be used under Linux, either
interfacing directly with Asterisk in some way, or using a soft phone
program on Linux that doesn't need screen interaction (only using the
phone's keypad)?
The idea is to be able to plug it into the USB port of an Asterisk
box in a rack, where screen, kbd and mouse may not be available.
Thanks in advance!
Tony
Find me a USB phone with sufficient hardware docs available and I will
see what I can do. I could use the same type of thing. I have remote
customer servers and would love to have them setup so my contractor tech
can just plug in and become extension xxxx on my pbx here.
Tigerjet makes a USB handset that is based on the same chipset as the S100U.
In fact, it looks like there's enough info in the wcfxsusb.[ch] files in zaptel
to get the keypad running.
I like the AU100 USB phone a lot better, but it looks like it will be windows
only. (ironically the AU100 was a lot easier to get working with iaxComm than
the Tigerjet phone)
What I would do is base the softphone on something like iaxclient. I
would have it launched when the usb hotplug was seen.
I suppose this could be initially done with 2 devices. One would be a
good usb headset and the other would be a keypad with lcd display.
I don't see any lcd display on the $34 phone. Maybe the $34 usb phone
adaptor is a better starting point for me because it says caller ID is
supported. I can plug a $12 phone that supports caller ID with name into
the thing.
