asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Asterisk on a single phone line

I have asterisk installed on a linux workstation (1 phone in and 1 phone
out jack).

I want to configure Asterisk to show me any available data about any
calls (i.e. phone numbers, caller-id) as well as screen unwanted calls
to voice mail.

My first question is, what (if any) specific kernel support do I need? I
build my own kernels and I usually turn off telephony and isdn support.

Second, which document(s) discuss configuration of Asterisk for this
purpose?

Thanks,

Job

What hardware do you have to connect your phone and line to your PC? I
use a Digium TD11B and it works well.

I use custom kernels on Debian too, and I turned off all telephony
support. Everything you need for a Digium board and Asterisk aren't in
the kernel.

It's a Smart/Lucent V.90 56 Kbps Fax/Data modem. I currently have a
phone outed through it by pluging from the wall into the data port and
out of the phone jack to the phone.
