[lug] Sound-enabled modem via Linux?

[Riggs, Rob]

Take a look at http://alpha.greenie.net/vgetty/
<http://alpha.greenie.net/vgetty/> . I used vgetty together with Python to
do a very rudimentary automated phone system (just for kicks) a few years
back. The author has a few shell scripts that implement a simple answering
machine, IIRC. If it can be done, this is a good place to start the
research.

Hi, 

A friend of mine is asking for advice on a software project. He needs to
write a system (running under Linux), which can answer a phone line, or make
a phone call. After that, it needs to be able to digitize what it hears, as
well as synthesize some sounds. This is to communicate with some legacy
devices on the other end that speak DTMF (as well as some other tones,
non-DTMF). 

Does anyone know of such a device (card) which can be harnessed from Linux?
Ideally, it's a combination sound card/modem of some sort. Any tips would be
appreciated, I'll pass them along. 

Thanks, 

Bryan
