www.gsmopen.org ...low cost GSM for FreeSWITCH and Asterisk

I've not yet looked into it, but I know there is a way, probably is ALSA itslef that gives you that.

Have you googled for "ALSA bluetooth"?

http://www.google.com/search?q=alsa+bluetooth+howto&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq...

But really, I've not yet looked into that.

If you do, please report here how it goes.

mmmmmh
as I told, I've not yet looked into that.

If you find the way, please post it.

Maybe googling for "alsa bluetooth cellphone" or similar brings more joy. Also, there are howto, I believe, for chan_bluetooth or chan_mobile or how is called now, for asterisk, that probably tell something useful.

I'll make it works with bluetooth and publish an HOWTO maybe next week, but is a very busy period, so no guarantees. But is in my todo list :)

unfortunately I cannot see this through at this moment in time.

If by end next week I've not published here an HOWTO, please post here again rqeusting it, so I'll do it! ;)

Just to remind you that you're going to publish Bluetooth HOWTO ;)

Another week nearing its end... no progress yet?

I was not able to have bluetooth configured for audio. And I lost almost one day around it :(.

Also, for what I have seen, only one channel would be possible, and not very reliable.

For sending/receiving SMS it works, and it would work for voice too, if I can understand how to configure bt.

Maybe I'll end up witing something at low level in the future.

For now, no bluetooth.

Thank you for the nice words.

I had a look at chan_mobile (and at the bugs and problems that are in the digium bugtracking about it ;) ).

And I've had a long chat with the bluez (bluetooth stack for linux) developers.

I can do the same as chan_mobile (interfacing directly with the sco packet sockets), but for how bluetooth is working, is not possible to have more than one line on the same bluetooth adapter, and anyway, is not much stable.

So, maybe I'll do in the future, just for the sake of having a feature, but don't seems much interesting to me.

If you want to have a gsm interface, why don't you go for a nice usb interface? At least is dependable (and works with gsmopen ;) ). Why bluetooth? The cost of a cellphone that has bluetooth probably surpasses the cost of a complete usb interface...

I'm asking out of curiosity.

Hi Giovanni,

I have experimented a lot with bt dongle and 3G modem at Debian embedded router/server project
and at Nokia Internet Tablet project called maemo.

I am looking for an option to use 3G usb voice modem (Huawei E169) as dial-up interface for calling Asteriskwin32 installed under MS Vista.

"
Celliax and USB 3G voice modem E169 by Huawei + MS Vista + asteriskwin32
"
http://www.gsmopen.org/node/77

I can call my laptop via public PSTN number provided bz SIP provider, having Asteriskwin32 registered for sip account and local SIP client registered to Asteriskwin32 either.

But due to lowband data transfer, voice qualitz is not great.

So I would prefer to call my laptop directly, calling installed 3G usb voice modem with sim card inserted.

Please let me know what is a chance to have that solution to work with Celliax.

from asteriskwin32 manual on Celliax

As asteriskwin32 is run under Cygroot (cygwin)
there is no /dev subdirectory

as modem's virtual serial port is COM26

so should I enter /dev/ttyS25

or /dev/USB25 is supported ?

Thanks Giovanni,

right now I discovered, chan_alsa.so module is not coming with asterisk for windows.
asla.conf is present anyway and can be configured.

If chan_alsa is not present with asterisk for windows, so what other device is used to play asterisk audio files via a sound card on Vista MS ?

I am looking for alsa_chan compiled for windows 32 / Vista to install and have it configured via alsa.conf
to deliver better, undistorted sound quality.

As asterisk for windows comes with 50+ conf files
I would like to learn , what other module + respective conf file can replace alsa , chan_alsa module in windows.

Any idea ?

In the near future there will be Windows support for gsmopen (new celliax name) under freeswitch (www.freeswitch.org), and I counseil you to use freeswitch instead of asteriskwin32.

Ok.
But today I test Asterisk for Windows by Patrick + your Celliax reworked by Patrick to work for Windows
and celliax for windows worked for me.

The issue is sound quality of Asterisk.

As you are busy with gsmopen I am looking for source code of celliax to let me learn how to solve the problem with sound quality in Asterisk for Windows.

I am really surprised to be the only person interested in Asterisk for Windows by Patrick today.

Thanks.

BTW

How can I download celliax source in Windows from the following web link ?

Celliax LiveCD
You can download the Celliax LiveCD from http://www.celliax.org/downloads

I need celliax sources to open in Windows.
