RE: PhoneRider questionGuys,

I sent a note to the PhoneRider folks Joe told us about. Thought you might
want to see the response. (Read from the bottom up.)

Hello David,

Thank you for your interest in our products.

With the PhoneRider you will get THE good telephony solution.
Yes, we detect handset on/off hook, you can remote control through
distant telephone or local telephone using DTMF.
To pick up a phone in the house, and use the computer, this
telephone must be connected onto the PhoneRider. You can connect
2 telephones on the same PhoneRider but this is not a usual way.
Each USB device handles 1 line, but you can have several devices
connected to the same computer. We guarantee and tested 4 devices,
but you can connect more.
For your application you can have 2 PhoneRider with 2 incoming
lines. 1 "local" handset, and 1 "house" handset on the second board
and the program can manage both lines and telephones inside the same
computer.

Don't bother about my time and please, do not hesitate to contact us,
should you need any further information.

Best regards,

Hi, folks.

A group of us home automation enthusiasts is looking for a good telephony
solution. Your board looks good. Could you tell me if it is able to detect
local handset on/off hook and receive DTMF through the same local handset?
We'd like our application to be able to have standard voice mail functions
(including dial-in DTMF), but we'd also like to pick up a phone in our
house, hit # and then have the computer take over the line inside the house
for further voice prompted instructions. Is this possible with your
hardware? More importantly, will your 2-line USB unit support this
functionality?

Much thanks for your time.
