Lol, not at all it is for a clairvoyance service.

Yes indeed, a basic computer (ie a P3 800) with a pbx card.

Ok, so it would be possible that the box handles simultaneously 
something like 15 calls in the way : 1 is speaking to the clairvoyant 
while 14 are listening ? Each one gets 30 minutes with a queue based on 
who phoned first.

I've got basic knowledge about telephony (pots, voip...), good knowledge 
about signal routing but help for the choice of the card would be 
greatly appreciated
