Hello,
Quoting "Raj Mathur (??? ?????)" raju@linux-delhi.org:
Btw writing a voice modem driver would be time consuming n costly affair n still requires a lot of testing, I believe the option I have makes economic sense.
Agreed, it would be time-consuming, but it still sounds like a good summer hacking project to me, and if it makes Asterisk more versatile so much the better, no? I mean, how many PBX manufacturers can claim compatibility with the array of devices Asterisk works with, and the more devices it does work with the higher its acceptability.
Sure, I would like to work with local Manufacturers of Voice Modems, since the card that I recommended earlier doesnt get us the callerID from Indian PSTN line.
However, If you are interested I can ship you one of the above card if you got enough time to write the CallerID Patch for Asterisk.
You can get more info from the below URL : https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=6683
Its tentatively fixed for the costlier Digium and Sangoma Full 4 Port n 2 Port Boards, but its not fixed for the Single Port board, which we sell as the Asterisk Starter Kit.
Most Asterisk Enthusiasts have purchased the above card from us without the callerID thing. I still have around 40 of them in our stock.
Not that modems are that much cheaper, but you can still get a decent external voice modem for around Rs 2000, and all it needs is a serial port. Makes sense in a price-sensitive market like India to me.
So considering the Voice Modem, work, the above work (Getting Caller ID on our Single Port FXO Low cost hardware) is fairly more easier.
Due to the above problem, we stopped manufacturing them, but if the same is fixed, I am sure we can beat the Rs. 2000/- mark easily :)
