Arnaud--

I'm answering this via the users' mailing list instead of the
developer's. I know they'd appreciate that, and it's a better forum for
these sorts of questions.

I'm using an old rotary dial phone connected to one of the 4 ports of
the 4-port FXS card; it works great. I can dial, check voicemail, etc by
spinning the dial and letting go. I was amazed, but pulse dialing works
fine with the FXS card. The only trouble might be with # and * key
functionality, I haven't investigated workarounds.
