Hello All, This may be a little OT for the list but it seems to be to be the place to get the best answer. I have looked at the many Skype/Yahoo phones out there and none seem to be what I am looking for. I have a need for a USB handset that I can use with an Asterisk server. This will be on the server itself and an extension on that server, most likely the only extension. The handset needs the ability to generate its own on hook/off hook and DTMF so that I would not need to load a soft phone. I will eventually be needing many of these so if the set up requires a lot of hacking to the phone it "may" not be feasible. Having said that any suggestions will be appreciated. I know I could use an ATA and a PSTN Phone from wally world, but this will not fit the project or the need. Thanks, JohnM -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Linux will usually easily identify the sound device and you can use the phone as chan_{oss,alsa,console}. Using the keyboard in it may be trickier. Do any of the above support cancelling acustic echo? Is it actually needed in this case? -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir
Iirc, there used to be such an adaptor in the digium dev kit years ago. Maybe somebody here remembers what it was exactly ?
