All sounds pretty easy to accomplish Dave! That gives me hope to get some equipment onto the C*Net one day as well.

Hi Terry:
I think the easiest way is to use an ATA - I am using a server, and that complicates matters, but is more powerful... I am running across one problem right now which hopefully we will get solved this morning. We had the problem yesterday, and got rid of it, but it returned after a few calls last night.
When one tries to call out, there is a very long wait, it times out than you get a "All circuits are busy now, please call again" message. This is only on calls originating from the system. Calls from outside are 100% perfect - there were over 20 calls overnight to the voice-mail. If I pick up during any of those calls, I can talk to them with no problem...
So, we need to get that little problem solved. I probably messed up the configuration at some point.
It is a neat little server, an ATOM ITX based machine - very small footprint with its programming on a semiconductor hard drive. No conventional hard drive or CD-Rom The only extra thing in the computer is an Asian made FXS/FXO board. Normally no keyboard or monitor needs to be plugged in, but now as I play with it, I am using a monitor plugged in so I can keep an eye on it....
An Atom can be made a lot smaller, but this one has 2 empty bays for CD Rom or hard drives.
Having fun playing. Last night there were calls from all over North America, one from Germany, and among the callers were Chuck Richards and Chad Perkins.
