[PD] pd and (analog)-telephons

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

No hardware except an old PC and a network card is necessary if you use  
VoIP.  VoicePulse Connect is a good service if you just want to receive  
calls.  US$11/month for unlimited incoming calls on four lines.  Even a  
Linksys WRT54G wireless router can run asterisk, the CPU requirements  
are minimal.

The easiest way to get the sounds into Pd would probably have Pd read  
the wav files that asterisk writes.  But I think streaming should be  
possible.  This might be the kick in the ass that I need to document  
this setup:  http://whitmanlocalreport.net
We have been planning on writing up a HOWTO webpage anyway.
