Title: Using a telephone as I/O for HAL
Post by: questordan on March 20, 2002, 10:22:06 pm

Has anyone tried to use HAL thru your telephone instead of a speaker/microphone?

There are home control programs that use the telephone to issue instructions to the control program.  You key in a # and it wakes up your modem and listens thru the line input setup.

I think that would be a perfect way to detact you from the headset microphone and use Hal all around the house.

Any ideas?

This might be possible using a voice modem plus a custom program that would pick up the phone. The voice modem would have to replace your sound card as the default audio device.
