Hi I am in the UK and am looking for a device that will allow me to connect two sim cards (read wireless lines) to either the port on the back of my fritz card or any other connection direct to the PC that provides a usable telephony interface. I will even plug two devices into a windows box and have that do ISDN to ISDN if required. All I want is two GSM lines that look like voice modems to the PC and provide full telephony interface, that is DTMF both ways CLI and a few other bits and pieces. I am looking to using asterisk as a remote IVR for looking after some equipment, but land lines are a problem. Any help is much appreciated Regards Chris.

We use the Nokia 22: http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,56024,00.html They have worked well providing both telephony applications on remote sites and SMS support for Broadcast work in the UK (serial AT command interface). If you don't mind single band (900 or 1800 MHz GSM) operation there is an older device (Nokia Premicell) that can be sourced cheaply from eBay: http://www.nokia.com/cda1/0,1080,2700,00.html HTH Darren -- Comgate Telco>Internet<Broadcast -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com]On Behalf Of Chris Lee Sent: 10 June 2004 15:50 To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] GSM to ISDN or TAPI Hi I am in the UK and am looking for a device that will allow me to connect two sim cards (read wireless lines) to either the port on the back of my fritz card or any other connection direct to the PC that provides a usable telephony interface.

The downside is that it's an analogue connection, of course. -- I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element.

I use Nokia 32s. 
I don't know what a fritz card is but they can act either as an FXO or as an
FXS device. Beware though, if you use them off a port that expects a telephone
set (like an ATA or so) you'll need a special cable to program the 32
properly - the cable is pricey. Acting as an FXO, they perform out of the box
(don't need the cable).
