Folks A have a PCIe modem (Conexant ChipSet, PCI id = 14f1:2f83.? It interfaces to my land-line (POTS) telephone line in the United States.? On Windows, I had a good answering machine package (Ventafax) that reported CallerID, recorded messages, sent/received fax, and had a scripting language that let me say "To leave a message for Alice, press 1; to leave a message for Bob, press 2", etc. I'm trying to move this function to a Centos-based system without going to the expense or complexity of Asterisk (expense because of specialized telephony cards). My research found a driver (at www.linuxant.com), but it required that I recompile the driver.? I got absolutely lost trying to follow the directions which seemed to be steering me towards a custom Kernel. So, my question to the group wisdom is:
- Is there any hope in trying to find a suitable driver for this
device without building a custom kernel?? And if a custom "module" is needed, I might need help compiling it.
- Is there a inexpensive modem that Centos 7 supports with the
needed functions?? and maybe some software applications that might help? Thanks in advance. David
Hello
You can install an Asterisk with a "mini-gateway" like http://www.grandstream.com/products/gateways-and-atas/analog-telephone-adapt... And is not so complex write a dialplan for the functions you say. There is many tutorial over the HT503 and Asterisk in the wild!
I know this is not the answer you are looking for but the standalone ATA's are not very expensive and there is http://nerdvittles.com/ to help you get going. This guy gives you various Centos, Debian, raspberry pi based iso's and other cookbooks to easily build your own PBX. The good news is most of it "just works" as long as you understand the terminology.
I have had good luck with the Obihai 202 ATA. Never could get good call quality from the grandstream stuff but maybe that is just me.

Interesting reference, but I see nothing that talks about using my POTS (plain old telephone service) from the local phone company as where my phone activity is. I do NOT use VOIP, SIP, nor a bunch of other acronyms.

An ATA with an FXO port will connect to your analog telephone service.

This device has 1 FXO and 1 FXS port, you can connect 1 POTS and 1 Analog phone to it, they are "converted" to SIP and then you can manage that from Asterisk. The same that an analog card but instead connect to a computer slot, goes by Ethernet and cheaper (instead a DAHDI channel use a SIP channel).
