I have a “bluetooth cellular gateway” that’s attached to my old rotary phone collection. I actually bought it like 15 years ago so I could hear and answer my phone while in the basement den, since I couldn’t get a signal down there. They’ve since fixed the reception in my area but it has been more reliable than the voip adapters I’ve tried, and has the power to ring a 1960’s pay phone (and some won’t even take a rotary pulse). It’s been compatible with every mobile phone I’ve had since, and it powers a standard call ID box.
I use an Obi200 connected to my elderly godparent's landline configured with google voice. When someone dials their google phone number, it rings both their cell phones and their house phone in Arizona and their cabin phone in Minnesota.
They are! I have a fake dial-up ISP set-up with a similar unit (Linksys PAP2T). A dial-in server is on one of the lines and uses Windows XP's built-in networking features to connect its modem to the internet via a WiFi adapter and it can be dialed into from the other line. The phone system is controlled with a Raspberry Pi running Raspbx. It's really cool to use but unfortunately (even though I have all the settings on the ATAs set so the conditions are the most favorable for data transmission) the dial-up connection sometimes cuts out and, more annoyingly, I can't get it to work between two ATAs. For instance if I set up a second ATA in another room of the house, I can't get dial-up to work between a laptop connected to that ATA and the dial-in server connected to the first adapter, it always hangs during handshake and gets stuck on a specific set of tones... Interestingly though, it does work in that configuration with fax, I can scan and fax something from my printer in the other room and receive it on the Windows XP server machine and vice-versa with sending faxes. Perhaps setting the ATAs up for direct IP dialing would minimize latency and allow it to work for dial up, but that would make dialing too complicated.
Definitely. I have a few of them and the one I currently have in use drives an Automatic Electric rotary phone with a nice, loud ringer that lives in my living room. The ATA connects to my on-site FreePBX server and I have my Google Voice number forwarding to the DID attached to it so I tell people "calling my Google Voice number rings this rotary phone!"
Holy crap, i had no idea these cheap SIP box things existed! You can set up a real dialup server at home with one of these. The only way to do it that i knew of was to use a phone line simulator, and those are always expensive.
That's not as easy as it looks. Unfortunately the boxes will compress audio, which causes a LOT of data loss with a dial-up connection. You have to try to disable as much of the audio compression as possible.. and YMMV with that. It took me hours of fighting my Obihai 200 to get it to support a dial-up connection of more than 30 seconds.
This is easily the best idea I've seen in years. And as it turns out I have like 30 of the Linksys sip boxes at the office and had no idea what they could be used for! Think I'm gonna have to make this
Man, SIP protocols are such a cool thing, I remember using a SIP service to do free wifi mobile calls when I was scrounging by and sadly phone service had to go, but knew I had a solution
The main suggestion I would have is to use sox for manipulating wav files like that. It's more period-correct than ffmpeg, and is much more likely to generate the correct wav files.
I have 2 of these (the older linksys atas) in my office, but i do the reverse. I have landline coming to my office and use it to bridge it the line to my freepbx and voip phones. This was very popylar 12 yrs ago. I save a ton of money by rolling my own solution than being on a monthly plan for a pbx
If you want that phone to have an actual phone number look into the obi200 or other products from the same company. It lets you connect a POTS phone to sip services and Google voice (free number) so it could be a drop in replacement for that Cisco box. I was even able to make a dial-up connection over Google voice using it (wasn't stable enough to send data back and forth but I managed to get an IP)
Last time I installed a ata box was for a fax. If they didn't have the fax. They would not have used one. This is when they switched over to a VOIP cloud system. Also the reason for the old documents and such. It all moved into paid or free / paid modules on systems or in the cloud. Not that you can't find a free system and or build an asterisk (pbx) yourself.
I decided to run an IP PBX just for fun (and to learn how to configure it) with IP phones. This way I could also cut down on my phone bills, by giving my friends and family an IP phone or a softphone app for their smartphone, and that's how we call each other. I even went so far to configure the instrumental version of Rather Be by Clean Bandit as the on-hold music :D Btw, it's a well suited song for that, it comes through really well on the phone. (at least to what phone lines are capable of :D)
I deal with these Cisco devices at work (ISP). Businesses that still have them installed need to have their routers set up correctly, so when a technician replaces the router, the Cisco doesn't download its settings over TFTP correctly until the routes are added to the router. It's a pain to figure out because nether I nor the technician have the oversight on the config and registration process so we have no idea where it breaks (wrong SIP password or routes didn't stick on the router, some weird stuff). Then all of a sudden 2 out of 4 of these that are installed start working after 30 minutes and you wonder if you did anything, but nope, it's random. Sometimes it works immediately, sometimes it doesn't.
@@I.____.....__...__ Nah that's not the issue. The router usually configures the local IP interface for VOIP correctly via ACS (TR-069). The DHCP list shows it correctly. The ATAs are just slow to configure via TFTP.
That's cool! I made a video a few months ago about using one of these ata devices to establish a dial-up connection for one of my computers. I was browsing the internet like it was 1998. It's pretty cool!
Also you forgot to link what you showed at 4:34, i would also recommend not making screen grabs with such high resolution, it is often impossible to read etc.. Either use much bigger scaling factors or use no resolution for screen grabbing higher than maybe 720p, this makes everything readable with lower viewing resolution, screens and on phones. Thanks!
You know, I was thinking, if you wanted to improve your streaming face tracking thing, could you get a shirt printed with tracking fiducials on the front, back and sleeves, then set up your tracking software to track those instead of your face? In theory there should be at least on fiducial facing the camera at all times, so it should lose tracking a lot less frequently.
There are some tuning options for the tracking software I should mess with again sometime that could probably help by making it zoom out earlier after not seeing a face for a while. The shirt thing would might work, but I might end up blocking that just as much when I have things on the table. At least with the face tracking I know if I can see the camera it can see me.
at:14:40 .... "Morning, Mr. Shelby... Looks like you're running late" 😁... at:15:00 ... "They're waiting for you Shelby... in the testtt chamberrrrrr" 😳...
After a while of having this vid on the background it started to sound like people were buzzing in on Family Feud, the phone's ringer sounds real close to that sound effect.

Haha, I feel that, I've been working for a small telco running VoIP services for 5 years now, I still have customers calling in saying "yeah so X happened", when I look at the pcaps everything's looking 100% fine, I go on site and nothing is working as it should, then 15 minutes later *SOMETHING* will happen and everything will be fine again.
thanks for the inspiration! unfortunately the audio setup didn't work for me, so i did the following instead: 1) i instead used the following ffmpeg encoding string for converting the TTS: "ffmpeg -i tts.wav -c:a pcm_mulaw -ar 8000 -ac 1 -y tts-8k.wav" 2) i made sure my audio.xml file contained these two lines, just replacing what was already at m=audio by default: "m=audio [media_port] RTP/AVP 0" and "a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000" 3) lastly, for looping, SIPp supports looping in-house, no need for silence hacks. to use it, change the item after rtp_stream= to "[PATH/TO/FILE]/tts-8k.wav,-1,0"
I feel like it's totally set this up as the HL1 VOX announcer, it'd just take some reworking to check what words make up each full message and play the appropriate voice clips in sequence. Considering how vast languages are though, that would take too much effort just getting enough samples together.
I can just think that with the amount of calls coming in during a twitch stream, the need of answering the phone would become tiring/annoying, which then leads to the question of why not simply use a speaker with a ringtone beforehand, bypassing the need to use SIP and an actual physical phone. Oh and RUclips is Google, Twitch is Amazon, different company overlords.
Almost makes me want to join twitch and call about your miss-sold PPI. I also might have to get one of these and play with some of the phones lying around the house.
can you change which TTS service it uses? It would be really fun to see if you could use amiga say or macos speech voices. Or any of those AI generated pop culture character voices? Some of them would be downright hilarious, especially if it chose a random one for every message.
hhmm, I use a ATA box as a phone simulator at work. I never thought of using it at home. I have some old rotary phones with DTMF converters. Would be fun to have a phone for the house and shop.

hmm seeing how everybody seems to be writing firmware for everything old, I wonder if you can update that firmware for it to be easier to set up. And make the audio easier.
Now I regret sending my SPA122 back to the ISP when I cancelled my home-phone service, especially since I specifically wanted the landline to allow me to dial into the house from outside and use a DTFM module on an Arduino to do DIY home-automation stuff (like rebooting the modem, router, server, etc. since none of them are stable 😒). I need to get another. 😕 (I do still have an old Arris telephony modem, so hopefully that will work.) 24:35 "Bees fly anyway because they don't care what humans think is impossible" - I'm reminded of a scene from _Simpsons_ or _King of the Hill_ or something in which two people were running from a lion and one person said they read that lions can't climb trees, so they climbed a tree, then the lion started climbing up after them, and the other person said the lion obviously didn't read that book. 26:12 It won't _inherently_ do emojis; it's a trivial matter of just doing a search-and-replace (eg with sed) on the file to replace emojis with whatever text you want (in this case, you could have had it replace the hotdog emoji with "hooot dooog!!!"). 😉 27:45 bschapendonk didn't realize you're using Linux, so environment-variables use a different delimiter (and variable name). 28:25 Perfect way to end it. 😂

Fritzboxes (and most DSL/cable modems with phone ports) do use SIP for the phone lines IIRC, so theoretically you should be able to rig something up. TAE is just German IIRC, but you should also have two RJ11 ports on the back :)
For others inspired by these shenanigans, Twilio's programmable voice API should be much easier. You do have to pay for calls, but for this sort of thing it should be almost nothing

That would be a cool addition to an escape room or simulated experience mini game.

There’s a channel called Playful Technology wherein a guy uses a similar setup to create escape room puzzles.

These old phones could be converted to make calls over the internet, like skype or viber. With an esp micro or similar.
That is what the SIP box does. They can contact a SIP provider over the internet to make and receive phone calls, ie. VoIP.
