[NTLUG:Discuss] Hardware recommendation for voice mail on linux

[Fred Hensley]

Although this might be considered overkill, have you considered setting up an asterisk system (www.asterisk.org)?

Armed with that distribution, and one of its analog card available via ebay, you can have quite a phone and voicemail system, even for a single residential line.

Interestingly enough, the basic book for asterisk is downloadable for free as a pdf file, but do not have the link handy.

My $0.02, but will look forward to hearing about whatever you end up doing.

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] Hardware recommendation for voice mail on linux


A long time ago I had a good voice mail card but it failed.  Tried 
replacing it with moderate-cost data/fax modems but the voice quality 
was lacking and I gave up.  Now that I could put a distro on a usb stick 
I'm again thinking about setting up a voice mail machine.  Any 
recommendations on reasonably priced hardware which has decent voice 
quality and has drivers for Linux (of course)?
