1) Consumer voice modems are typically "win modems" which do not document how to use the "telco attached sound card" functionality - you can only use it with the provided Windows only software. 2) If you happen to have a usable voice modem, then you want telephony software, as simple as a software answering machine or as complex as Asterix (which probably has drivers for voice modems). Ekiga uses the SIP or H323 protocols to talk to another SIP/H323 user or a telephony server (like asterix). It does no telephony itself. 3) If you only need to send touchtones, and the modem implements the ancient and venerable AT command set, then you can send touchtones with a simple script that sends commands like "ATDT12345678\r" to the modem. We have no idea what other features you envision (maybe a GUI that displays an address book?) _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
