I am willing to use a Sparcstation 1 as a multimedia office system. For that purpose I want to communicate with the outside world using voice/data/fax ... transfers. From what I understand the audio chip can digitize and replay sounds. It can also generate DTMF signalling tones. Considering these facts I thought about hooking the SS1 directly to a phone line in order to include some telephony functionality into an integrated office system. Has this been done already? Any ideas about what may be troublesome with this idea? (is it possible to hang-on the line, to detect ringing?) I read in the Sun Sparcstation 1 documentation that the audio chip has ISDN capabilities. I don't really know what this means. Does anynoe know about the capablitites of this chip. I'd appreciate this information and I will summarize to the net. Thanks in advance. Franck BOISSIERE boissier@irisa.irisa.fr Prototyping Lab Manager boissier@ccettix.UUCP C.C.E.T.T.
