a voice modem
A voice modem is device capable of playing and recording audio
over a telephone line. If you are not sure whether your
computer has a voice modem or not, just go ahead with the
installation. The software will inform you if it cannot find a voice
modem.
We only support Voicent 3025 Data/Fax/Voice PCI modem.
You can get this modem from http://www.voicent.com/store for
less than fifty dollars.
A working phone line
Voice modem requires an analog phone line. Analog phone lines are
the ones for most residential homes or the ones used by fax
machines behind corporate PBX boxes. A Voice over IP (VoIP)
service like Vonage can also be used, provided a voice terminal is
available for connecting a voice modem.
Use a laptop computer
Since the supported modem is an internal PCI voice modem, it
cannot be installed on a laptop computer. Many external voice
modems are known to work with Voicent products; however, these
modems depend a lot on the quality of your laptop computer. In
general, using Voicent on a laptop is less reliable and tends to have
poor call quality.
If possible, use a desktop computer. An old Dell desktop computer,
such as those based on Pentium III, is a far better choice than
most laptop computers.
If you have to use a laptop computer, please choose a USB based
voice modem, such as Zoom 2985 USB modem. If your computer
does not have a USB port, you can try Zoom 3049 Serial port
