Larry,

Thanks for sharing such a neat idea with us. I have one question that popped
into my mind. What do you do with the sound card output, aside from feeding
it into the telephone device. Is there enough power to split the output to
an amp to feed speakers placed around the house?

Also, how difficult was the kit to assemble? Could a beginner put it
together, in your opinion?

I want to look into this. What a great way to get local phone control back.

Ecs User Group,

I have been using a commercially available PHONE TO SOUNDCARD INTERFACE for
a
little over a year now for local phone SR. Although available as a 'kit",
the
manufacturer has indicated he can also provide it fully assembled. It was
designed to allow a phone to be used when placing phone calls over the
internet. It replaces the speakers and microphone that are connected to the
soundcard with a phone when "off hook" is detected and reverses when "on
hook" is detected.
