Hello there The PCI cards have drivers, but my googling don't show any hints for the USB devices, hence my question.
My idea here is to call a GSM network through asterisk (i.e. terminate VoIP calls to local numbers), instead of doing VoIP over GPRS - the exactly other way around of what you thought. I currently use miax but with the need for a Motorola V600 and a difficult to find CSR-based USB bluetooth dongle, I'm trying to find a better solution (one that scalles better than a bunch of dongles and phones on a desk, but without the US$1400 price tag of 4-port PCI-GSM cards). Someone said in this list that he had success with chan_bluetooth and a Nokia Phone, but there was no follow-up on HOW he did it and if he faces any drawbacks with the solution.
