I have a question that's not specifically linux related, but in a way it is
since I want to do my Linux job with this phone... :)
Starting on 4/1 I'm going to be a remote employee for a company that's two
hours away from me. I'm working on getting broadband of some sort to my house
to handle the network traffic. However, we still have the question of the
phone...
I've seen devices on the 'net that are phones which you plug into your
computer and you subscribe to a service that will offer you 'Net phone service
for $X/mo.
However, what we're looking for is a type of VOIP phone where we can have one
end of it plugged into the office phone system and into the hub there and the
other end into my home-office hub and be the handset. Then, when a call comes
in to my extension, it will go VOIP over the net from one end of the "phone"
to the other and ring on my desk. This would save us the cost of forwarding
the phone calls and the cost of another phone line when we already have the
broadband connection.
Do any of you with much more hardware knowledge than I know if such a device
exists? Or if there is software which could do it with Linux on each end and
a sound card on my end?
Thanks for any and all pointers to info!!
-Michael
