Such a device is just a modem. Unless it has separate audio inputs/outputs, it won't help you except to send data using GPRS. Something that could work is a PCMCIA card such as the Sierra Wireless cards (http://www.sierrawireless.com/ProductsOrdering/pccards.asp) or the Sony Ericcson card, or any other one for that matter. (Why do I put the link in for the sierra card? because i happen to know my way around their site. i have no idea how these cards compare) You will of course need a PCMCIA -> PCI adapter; do NOT get one that allows you to put the card in on the front of the computer as those only support 16-bit cardbus, and most of these cards are 32-bit. I've used it on windows with an SMS gateway that would forward SMS's around (www.nowsms.com), but these cards can also be used for calls. How you integrate that with asterisk -- I have no idea. The drivers only exist for windows, and while I bet the device just comes up as a general modem device on linux, I would have no idea how to get it to do voice. Good luck. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
