Streaming phone calls?

In need of help. I've been test running a station I call Dead Air Radio for the past few days. I've got it all set up except for phone calls. Does anyone know anything about getting a phone conversation to stream into the computer in such a way that I could then stream it out through shoutcast? I'm
using live365.com to broadcast if that makes any differance, though I doubt it does.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

DialPad.Com maybe?

Already tried, it just calls you and then the person you're calling, so that's no help if I can't get the phone data directly into the computer to stream out...

Hey thats the name of my station! Joking! Go to www.shoutcast.com! Maybe they have info on the subject. I know I saw them mention it. Do you use a microphone yet? If you do give me your address to the server so I can check it one day! Good luck!

A standard analog phone line (ie residential, not office bldg.) will splice nicely into a 1/8" stereo jack... from there run it into a mixing board or into the MIC in on your soundcard...

I don't recommend plugging residential twisted pair phone line directly into a mixing board or sound card. A ring (ya know, someone calling you) can cause 40 to 60 volts to be generated. Even when you are not using the phone there is a nominal voltage of 4V or so. Oh, sure, the current is VERY low, but the voltage is more than enough to fry the typical sound card. Anyone interested in using this method should get an isolation device from Radio Shack, Jameco, Mouser, or your favorite electronics supply house. These devices will not only filter out the voltage jump on ring and nominal on-hook voltage, but will also provide correct impedance matching between the sound card and phone system.

Just here to help!

Seems to me I recall setting up DialPad on my router - it uses TCP and UDP. UDP would be the place to capture incomming data packets. Thats what UDP does.. Can't you point the UDP packets to your device? Thats almost the same problem I'm having mapping port 8000 to my internal machine.. NAT sucks!

ok doods that vvant to do this the make these things that plug into the headset and then it has a jack for like recording to a microtape but you could plug that into your sound card yeah!! i do beleve you can get one of these fine products at a radioshack [mr burns shiver sound]

your welcome - tdb

sorry if that was hard to read

Get one of those voice modems that have the 1/8 jacks for mic in and speaker out. You can then plug these straight into your sound card. Plus you can dial and answer calls on your PC:-)

What does voice modem do? Can they automatically answer an incoming call?

I was thinking of using an answer machine of some kind. Auto-answer and auto-hang-up...

And of course, run a line from the speaker of the machine to the line-in of the Sound card.

<joke>Have you tried duct taping the phone on any parts of your body or box?</joke>
