[AG-TECH] Phone Bridging Options

[Todd Zimmerman]

Hey all,

Just wondering what reasonably priced solutions are available for bridging phone into AG conferences.

Currently we are using the Gentner phone interface, but we are looking for a 'standalone' solution 
that doesn't necessarily require using an entire AG node for bridging in audio.  Plus, needing a $5k 
Gentner unit to bridge a telephone seems a little excessive.

I'm thinking of perhaps using a cheap/old computer with a modem and just choosing the modem as the 
input/output devices of Rat as a possibility.

Anyone tried this?  Anyone have any other simple/cheap solutions?

Thanks!

Todd
