Hi,
    Is there or has anyone done any work on simple Computer Telephone 
Integration (CTI) type of stuff on FreeBSD ? What I am after basically is 
info if there exists or someone has written driver for a psrticular 
make/model of voice card that can be programmed to implement simple voice 
response system, ie plug a card into your ISA card, and has a connector 
connecting to your phone line (via modem perhaps), and upon answering the 
call it will prompt the caller to enter further instructing by pressing on 
the touch-tone phone key pad.  And upon intercepting those key press, it 
will carry out different functions etc.

    There seems to be many of such cards out there for PC running 
DOS/Windows, but I wonder if anyone has done it for FreeBSD.

    Thanks in advance and email replies please.
