You can probably do something with chan_oss or chan_alsa, but it may well need some hackery on OpenBSD. The voip-info.org wiki might give some clues, it's about the closest thing there is to an Asterisk reference manual. > I haven't tried it, but I believe this would work: > http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+MeetMe MeetMe (certainly in 1.2, don't know about 1.4) needs zaptel kernel parts as a timing source. There's an alternative in ports/telephony/app_conference. OpenPBX afaik doesn't need this (though I'm not sure whether or not their conferencing app requires POSIX timers or whether it manages without). > Now I'm excited. I want to try this at home. But who could I call? Anyone with a phone... there are numerous companies gatewaying PSTN<>SIP in and out and some doing PSTN<>H323 and a few doing PSTN<>IAX (this is less popular as the dedicated gateway devices which are normally used to interconnect with PSTN (with DSPs to handle codecs, E1/T1 interfaces, etc) generally don't do IAX.
