[Asterisk-Users] DECT channel

[Chris Ostler]

I have a DECT cordless phone that I've been using just as a standalone
phone.  The interesting thing is that the phone (CyberGenie) was developed
to run with Windows PBX software.  I've been looking at the possibilities of
getting it to work with Asterisk.  Although the obvious solution would be to
get an FSX card and plug the phone into it, I tend to think (or should that
be dream) bigger.

The base station contains a PTSN line in and a PTSN line out in addition to
the DECT base station.  It connects to a PC via a USB connection, providing
three device endpoints.  What I would *really* like to do is to get the line
in working as a FSO, the line out working as a FSO, and the DECT base
station providing a channel for each handset.

I've seen references on the list to the COM-ON-AIR line of DECT products.
Has anyone been successful in getting them to work with Asterisk?  If so,
what was involved in doing so?

The one benefit I have is that I have access to code for the Windows device
drivers and application, and so should be able to use that as a reference.
Although I don't have too much time to give to it, I would also be able to
work to code/adapt needed drivers.
