You can do fun stuff within your house independent of whether or not you are connected to POTS and/or the internet. You can get hardware that will either talk to phones or the telco for prices that are not cheap, but not out of line for a hobbiest. Unfortunately the people that produce the most popular driver for such hardware refuse to upstream their GPL code so that they can dual license it. So the code isn't available in Fedora and using it from ATRPMS is dicey if you like to track recent kernels or rawhide. I have a play setup at home, but currently am just using it as an intercom system between upstairs and downstairs. I don't have a POTS connection currently and was having some issues with some things I was doing to connect the phones to a SIP/IAX server (asterisk) and haven't made time to play with it recently. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
