If you have an ISDN line this is possible. If you have only an analog line, I'm not sure. /Per Jessen -- http://www.spamchek.co.uk/freetrial - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Sign up for your free 30-day trial now!

Yes, it is possible with a regular analog line, at least it was about ten years ago (in the US anyway). -- A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like to do. Why? ...In order to afford the sort of existence we don't care to live. -- Bradford Angier

With Linux-based software?? Do you know how it is/was done?
Though I've wanted to, I've never gotten around to setting it up myself.

You can download asterisk from http://www.asterisk.org/ but it's really overkill for what you want to do, as asterisk is really a VOIP solution, and not too easy to set up. -- Kind Regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com

Have you looked at skype? it is an online phone program that you can use to call other skype users as well as land line phones (at a cost). -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
