I am willing to use a Sparcstation 1 as a multimedia office system. For
that purpose I want to communicate with the outside world using
voice/data/fax ...  transfers. From what I understand the audio chip can
digitize and replay sounds.  It can also generate DTMF signalling tones.
Considering these facts I thought about hooking the SS1 directly to a
phone line in order to include some telephony functionnality into an
integrated office system.

Has this been done already? Any ideas about what may be troublesome with
this idea? (is it possible to hang-on the line, to detect ringing, ....)

I read in the Sun Sparcstation 1 documentation that the audio chip has
ISDN capabilities. I don't really know what this means. Does anynoe know
about the capablitites of this chip.

I'd appreciate this information and I will summarize to the net.

Thanks in advance.
