Boy is this silly...
I keep seeing those ads on TV for the $40 (or so) telephone interface goodie. My questions: Is this thing an audio interface? Any driver for Linux? Can the hookswitch/Ringer be read/written via some control interface? Touch tone interface?
No, I haven't bought one yet (and I don't intend to right now), but it looks like a neat thing to interface to a telephone (not the line side, the set side) for various uses (stage use for one).
Has anyone looked at it? While the VOIP service is nice, I'd be looking at it for a simple audio interface (admittedly low quality!).
It's not an audio interface, but instead a dumb SIP client which connects to the internet through what is presented to the OS as a USB ethernet dongle and some proprietary Windows software.
AFAIK.
