[Asterisk-Users] Stream Phone Call: Sound on Consule OSS to Helix server?
Hello, I am working on a project for a client of mine, that involves streaming an incoming phone call. I have a lot of experience with Linux, but something that I have never attempted is using sound under Linux, as all my machines have been servers. Here is the plan, is it doable? The client (a minor league baseball team) calls in to a iconnecthere.com phone number, and Asterisk answers (this part is accomplished). At this point, the sound of the incoming SIP call is made available on the console (how is this configured?). Helix Producer picks up the sound from the console (which device would it listen to) and streams out to the Helix server. Thanks, Marcus

Wouldn't this be a better app to put on a cheap laptop or a decent palmtop. With a SMC firewall that can use a modem so you can do data calls over a wireless link. This would allow you to do the digitization and compression on site and not loose quality in the least. You can still use a free dialup to provide the stream out. Of course if they are willing to pay for the iconnecthere account, they could purchase a dialup account with 800 number access so there is no configuration changes from place to place. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
