openmoko and pci express voice modems
Hello, I would like to know whether it is possible to plug a pci express voice modem into a laptop and then use openmoko to make mobile calls from the laptop ? An example pci express card is the MC8775v : http://www.sierrawireless.com/resources/product/MC8775V%20Datasheet%20rev%201.0.pdf Is anyone using this or another similar device to make calls from their laptop ? thanks Matt -- http://www.flatmaxstudios.com ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

It seems like an odd thing to do, but I'm sure you have a reason. You could run asterisk on the laptop and use it to route calls between the modem in the laptop and a SIP or IAX client running on the openmoko with a USB or WiFi network connection. This ought to be fairly easy to set up, assuming the card exposes its audio interfaces. One or more of the network capable audio daemons could probably make the openmoko appear as an audio interface on the laptop, so probably usable with the modem. You could try to get the openmoko to behave as a Bluetooth headset or handsfree kit, but I'm not certain there's any software available to implement this yet. This also assumes that the laptop can connect the card to the bluetooth audio device. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: openmoko and pci express voice modems
I see, What I am really trying to do is to have as close to an all in one convergence as possible. So take a small EEEPC like laptop, put the voice modem into it and there you have it ... phone, music player, video player, upgradeable memory, a mini computer with full QWERTY keys and so on ... Is it perhaps simpler to connect an openmoko device to a mini laptop ? Is it possible to route openmoko device audio through a laptop? thanks Matt On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 3:53 AM, Al Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 17 June 2008, Matt Flax wrote: Hello, I would like to know whether it is possible to plug a pci express voice modem into a laptop and then use openmoko to make mobile calls from the laptop ?

Re: openmoko and pci express voice modems

So take a small EEEPC like laptop, put the voice modem into it and there you have it ... phone, music player, video player, upgradeable memory, a mini computer with full QWERTY keys and so on ... So what you're really asking is if the openmoko software can run on your laptop, and use that card to make phone calls instead of GTA hardware. I would assume no and I'm not sure why you'd want to do it that way. If that card is supported under linux, I'm sure there is better support for it with desktop applications. But this list wouldn't be the place to ask. Is it perhaps simpler to connect an openmoko device to a mini laptop ? Is it possible to route openmoko device audio through a laptop? You should be able to have your laptop present itself has a bluetooth headset to the Freerunner. I have no idea if someone has written software to do that though. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

[...pondering how you could make calls from a Neo through a laptop] I figured he meant running the OM software on the lappie to operate the voice modem as a phone.

Majorly, would the card present itself as an audio interface or transfer PCM on the serial interface? As currently the OM dialer is Qtopia, the question becomes if it has support for the required I/O strategy or would one have to hack it (I don't know). -- Mikko Rauhala - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - URL:http://www.iki.fi/mjr/ Transhumanist - WTA member - URL:http://www.transhumanism.org/ Singularitarian - SIAI supporter - URL:http://www.singinst.org/ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: openmoko and pci express voice modems
I have begun enquiries with one of the manufacturers they mention they already have Linux drivers, but didn't seem to know what I/O routines they already provide I assume that if it needs hacking, then it would simply need control and voice hacking ... control hacks to start stop and do other functions to dial voice hacking to copy PCM buffers to/from openmoko and the device ... is that correct ? It is possible that this device also has GPS ... perhaps that also needs addressing during the hacking ?
