asterisk users - Feb 2007 - running asterisk through cellphone

hi everybody,

I'm currently planning a small-sized web-applicaiton allowing users to
call-in via phone. the phonecalls should be recorded and processed further
by some custom scripts - sounds like asterisk is a perfect match for this
app.

however, during prototyping I have no ISDN-connection whatsoever available,
so I was asking myself if it's possible to connect a cellphone via
data-cable (or bluetooth?) and use this as the single line to call-in.
searching the asterisk-forums I found mentions of chan_cellphone, which is
probably a patch for exactly this kind of usage, right?

I'ld be thankful if you could just point me to the right direction (I'm
quite new to asterisk). thx in advance!

What is the cellular connection for ? Are you using this for inbound or the
clients will call in in from thier cell phones ? If you need incoming (and or
ourgoing) lines you can get one from an ITSP. If you want to use your cell phone
you can use chan_cellphone. In order to use it you will need to install the
patch. For more information have at look at this:

If I understand you, you want to call the mobile phone, and have asterisk 
deal with the audio?

the only think I know of is "Dock'n'Talk"
   http://www.phonelabs.com/prd05.asp

but that has an analogue output, so you'd need analogue into asterisk, and 
if you have analogue in, then you might as well use a landline if you 
can...
