RE: HELP! Getting started with CID

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kevin,

I've always planned on using Asterisk for my outgoing calling integration
but although the * box has been running here for over a year, I've never
got round to getting it properly sorted.

In the mean-time, are there any specific modems that work well with
outgoing dialling that you know of - or does anything work OK?

I'd be using one with a number of DECT phones linked to the line.

Cheers,

Paul.
