  ISDN4Linux. You make the computer dial a number for an analog speech
  service, then send an ISDN diversion command to the phone that you want to
  use for the conversation.
 
 One problem with ISDN: You need a phone line that supports it, and the
 way ISDN card works (even if you do not use the ISDN itself, if the
 line is not supported, the line will not work at all when you will
 connect it into the card). And at least where I live, it is not that
 trivial.

It is true that ISDN is mainly an European technology and you will find 
public phone exchanges based on ISDN technology mainly in Europe. However, 
any modern phone exchange for use in office environments supports an 
internal ISDN bus, regardless wether the uplink to the public exchange 
is analog, ISDN or VoIP.

Hello,

I successfully used asterisk to dial from both Windows and Linux clients,
especially web browsers.

How to do it?
1. install and configure asterisk: free  open source pbx with many 
protocols

SIP, IAX, ISDN (some included some as add-ons): http://www.asterisk.org/
2. install web server
3. make simple cgi script that creates call file for asterisk:
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+auto-dial+out
4. call that cgi script from your application with simple HTTP query

We replaced our old plain PBX with much more configurable asterisk.

Regards,
Michal

 name of the repository?  Thanks for the help.

2007-11-02 Thread Tom La Bone

I saw that before link and put this repository in synaptic:

 deb http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/ lazarus-stable universe

However, Free Pascal 2.20 is still not available in synaptic for
installation. If I install Lazarus do I automatically get 2.20?

At the moment this repository contains 2.0.4 and a working lazarus
0.9.22. I'm telling this, because there are some 'official' repositories
with broken lazarus packages (ubuntu).

We are currently testing 0.9.24 with 2.2.0. If no more bugs are found
it will be released on sunday. Then you will automatically get fpc
2.2.0.
