[gentoo-user] VOIP solution for dump terminals?
Hello. In an office we helped set up, there are a lot of X terminals for the clerks. (These X terminals are the old computers from school's lab, installed simple Gentoo Linux only to start X). Now they need VIOP, is it possible? I mean, is it possible the clerks use VOIP on X terminals, when the terminal equiped sound card, microphone but what they see on the screen is actually produced by the powerful server (which has only one sound card)? Ideas welcome! Thanks. I tried searched the portage and didn't discover a VOIP solution that can work on console which might solve this problem. (a.k.a when you make a VOIP call, please use this shortcut to connect to your own X terminal with telnet and operate the VOIP software) -- Zhang Weiwu Real Softservice International business: http://www.realss.com International sales:0086 10 84606011 Inland business:http://www.realss.cn Inland sales call: 0086 592 2099987 Sent from Pine: http://www.washington.edu/pine/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
