Hello:
I have a conventinal external serial line data/vioce/fax modem. Is it possible to make phone calls through the computer using this modem?
No, it isn't possible. The next obvious choice is VoIP, but a 56K modem is not enough.
Actually, it is possible to use a 56K modem, if you use sufficient compression. For example, G.729 compression will fit in that with plenty of room to spare.
I stand corrected - it's been so long since I've dealt with 56K modems that I forgot they weren't really that bad :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
