Asterisk Connecting to the Cellular Network

chan_celliax

Celliax is a GPL channel driver for Asterisk, chan_celliax.

runs on Windows and Linux
manages GSM and CDMA cellular phones through an adapter, composed by a serial data cable (for commands) and an audio cable (for the voice) interfacing the computer soundcard
Celliax is also capable of making and receiving Skype calls through the cellphone, and has an app like app_directory that let you choose which one of your Skype contacts you want to call.
on Linux, Celliax can also manage ALSA voice modems (without Skype support)
on Windows and Linux (and *BSD) manages virtually all kind of cellular phones, both old Nokia models (with proprietary Nokia FBUS2 commands) and cellphones supporting AT commands (also with Motorola extensions)
with Celliax is distributed the Celliax LiveCD, with a working installation of Asterisk, chan_celliax, and configuration utilities, based on Knoppix. The Celliax LiveCD contains also all is needed to run Celliax on Windows: the cygwin installer and the tgz with the asterisk-celliax stuff to be untarred in a basic cygwin installation.
Headless Celliax, cellphones, Asterisk and Skype (without X)! Booting the LiveCD in console mode you find a script (/usr/local/asterisk/usr/sbin/celliax_server) that automatically launch Xvfb (the fake X11 server), Skype and Celliax. Also via ssh! Isn’t that cute?
