DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: turn my old pc ->

Thanx for the info. Unfortunately my programming skills don't exist yet.

There is something I found that seems like it's along the voicemail lines. 'mgetty' or 'vgetty'. maybe a .dsl could be made? I guess more research is necessary.

It would be a perfect project to educate the world as to how useful and versitile DSL (and linux) can be; by easy to understand / everyday products. There is a similar movement with homebrewed PVR's (personal video recorders). I think it's a rare person who doesn't have voicemail (or an answering machine). I personally pay $8.95 a month to SBC for my voicemail. A DSL voicemail solution would free up that monthly payment for some more DamnSmall donations

Asterisk provides Voicemail services with Directory, Call Conferencing, Interactive Voice Response and Call Queuing. It has support for three-way calling, caller ID services, ADSI, SIP and H.323 (as both client and gateway). Check the Features section for a more complete list.

Im sure someone could compile it and create an addon module for DSL

The recommended FXO cards work without a hitch and only cost like 30-40bucks...its quite nice actually

If they cant get it built for DSL, they have a prebuilt, self install iso that allows you to install a linux OS

What is Asterisk@Home
The Asterisk@Home project enables the home user to quickly set up a VOIP Asterisk PBX. A web GUI makes configuration and operation easy. We also provide an xPL (home automation) interface for easy interaction with other devices in the home.

But I think the DSL team can definitely get a MyDSL working.
