Handset recording

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Oh, right thanks, but that's not really what I want to do. I want to record
a phonecall on the line. I e the computer doesn't answer, but a human does.
The computer just detects that there was an incoming call and that the phone
went off hook (or that the voltage level drops on the line). It then starts
recording and gives the recording a name like "date-time". 
To do this the modem must route the phone through the codec, which should be
possible, according to the Rockwell reference. 

A sort of 'audiologger for phonecalls', if you like.

One thought with this is that the phone can be wireless. Then the one who
answers doesn't have to think of starting a taperecorder, and he can be
anywhere in the office.
