Hi all, As part of an alerts system I have a sort of e-mail to SMS gateway thing set up. Only problem is that the recipient of an SMS might be asleep. Due to the fact that most mobile phones don't ring for long enough to wake one up on receipt of an SMS, it occurred to me that it would be better if the computer dialled the voice number and then spoke the alert down the phone. Having given this some thought, for me the tricky bit is getting the computer to send audio data down the phone. Does anyone have any recommendations for h/w, or otherwise, to use to achieve this? I presume I need some sort of sound card come voice modem contraption, or is it easy to use a sund blaster and an ordinary modem, etc...? Thanks, Adam.
