As stated before, Intel sells a nice MSI card available in both PCI and ISA form factors. I have developed for the cards under both NT and 2000 and both platforms seem to run stable. There are several SDKs available for the cards, but the one we choose to use was 'Visual Voice' by Pronexus. It was a toolkit available for VisualBasic which worked well, but I dont believe it is being sold anylonger.
Intel has a SDK made by them for the boards, and the boards come in various flavors. There are boards for use with T1/E1s, ISDN lines, MSI systems and there is also a board that can be used for general TAPI applications such as an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system. As for Intels SDK, it seems to be able to be used in both VisualBasic and C++.
Is it just me, or is this issue quite a lot like several years ago when the LS-120 and ZIP Drives were first introduced. Mac officially supports one, and pc adopts the other. Wouldnt it be nice if the companies that produce such things just all got together and agreed on what was best?
I know this post is quite late, but I do have some info.
I work for a retail store that sells auto parts via a large distrubitor. The store uses a UNIX/SCO based POS System with a 'server' *pentium 133* and several dumb terminals.
Every nite, the warehouse dials all stores to gather sales data, and do minor updates / fixes. The only time we ever have had a problem it was direct result of 'operator error' *eg. the printer was OFFLINE for the nightly report - Done so many times by my boss* There are monthly CD updates that are shipped to us that update the software/database, and they are rather simple to install. The major downfall of the system is that it does nightly backups via a tape drive.
The only gripe I have about the system hinges directly to the fact that my 'thrifty' boss bought the cheapest/smallest system available.
Up until a week ago I was an avid user of avantgo reading slashdot on it daily. Then one day under my slashdot link mysterious errors began appearing. I believe the error was something such as 'Connection Timed Out.' I find it odd that avantgo did not give a more specific error message, after all they knew why I couldnt have slashdot on my palm.. it was their doing.. those bastards.
Reguardless, I would like to bring to light the idea of slashdot getting their own avantogo channel and perhaps funding it through the topic of a recent poll - OSDN Subscriptions. I know I for one would be willing to pay a small monthly fee to be able to read slashdot in class once again as opposed to listening to those damn professors... Anyone agree...?
I was persistent in using Visual C++ for some time until I spent over 2 hours trying to remove an error from my code that didnt really exist. I sent my source to a friend that uses CodeWarrior, and it ran flawlessly. When I took up the issue with my prof, he told me how Visual C++ fails to comply with the industry standard for c. Needless to say, I use CodeWarrior now...

A Mac user with a friend? Where I'm from *west central MN* you have to go hours just to find a Mac user... Poor little guy:(

No. But most certainly it will run netbsd...

Kinda puts that rice I made earlier to shame, huh?

Dont you remember hearing '640k ought to be enough for anyone...'
