Hello. I am running a new small office. The network is now in place with wireless wifi. Because we all have to work with computer turned on all the time (all Linux), I am thinking perhaps I can plug the telephone line to our Linux server which has a modem on it, and let the linux server work as a telephone switch. I want the Linux server to pick up the phone, ask which extension number the incoming call wants to reach, and make an SIP connection to the corresponding host (could be as simple as extention 11 map to 192.168.1.11), and the callee uses a handset that connects to his computer instead. Is there a software allow me to do such a setup?
Asterisk. But you'll need more hardware than a "modem". Single port POTs line cards are abundant on e-bay and pretty cheap; what you want is an X100P from Digium. The article at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/01/22/asterisk2.html is a good starter. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
