Is this realistic with Linux? If yes - can anyone suggest how? If you use the POTS you need an interface that provides transformer isolation, the correct impedance on the telephone line, and that removes as much as possible of the outgoing signal from the incoming one. Could be expensive. It is possible to hack together such a thing using relatively simple electronics (done it), but using such a device woul break the terms of use of your telco - they usually want a certified unit (for good reasons). If you use a cellular phone you need something like this: <http://www.jkaudio.com/daptor2.htm> to connect the phone to a sound card. In both cases on the mixer you need to create an 'N-1' bus, which has all the inputs from your main mix except the signal from the phone. This is what you send back to the phone. You also need some way to talk to the caller before he/she goes on air, zita-mu1 could come in handy for this. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
