Hi,
a@h 1.4 was released on 16th August. Anyone tried it yet?

The last release I tried was 1.0 which still had some rough edges.

Anyone know whether CentOS 3.5 is now a requirement or nice to have?
 
Speaking of which does anyone know where to get the " Digium - X100P" cards? or any other compatible card which allows POTS to be used (cheaply)
 
ebay do them for about £10-£15 (not much use to you , I know) however, I did read once that it doesnt take much to convert your average software modem into an fxo card (some soldering, and thats it), but for all the searching I have done on google I cant find any other references to this....perhaps a very well kept secret?b The bits below refer to an intel software modem which doesnt require modding

<edit, quote from slashdot:>
1. POTS lines will work. You will need an FX0 card per line. Not practical if you need a lot of lines. There are some multi Line FXO cards available. FX0=Hook up to telephone lines. There is a flavor of Intel Modem that will work as a single Line FXO card. They are pretty cheap and would be a good way to build a cheap test or home system.

As far as I know the intel modem they are talking baout is a software pci modem. If I am not mistaken it is this one
https://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=FM-INL92SW. On the asterisk documentation http://www.asterisk.org/index.php?menu=hardware it is listed as "generic x100p"


That should allow you to hook up the phone line to an asterix box.

Well that was one of my first thoughts, why can't I just use a regular modem. Might be something to investigate. I have 3 lines at home and would not mind hooking them up to a PBX for "educational" purposes.

I have a couple of modems lying around so it might be worthwhile to do some more research into modding them.

I wonder if the dialogic cards would work (the kind telkom uses) they are expensive but you can generally find them for free if you ask around.

I guess the Intel works because it is a winmodem and passes all commands directly to the CPU????

A regular modem, does not have the correct voice chipset,

however the are many, many clone cards, but belive me they cause major problem and have huge echo problems. !
