time to set up an MD or anything on his end... i am just wondering
about the possibility of direct recording of a modem input on a mac.
even if there was a way to keep the port open and record it as though
it were a speaker phone.. that would help. thanks for responses so
far!
If I understand you, you want to use the Mac to record in some normal
audio app. You want to record off a phone line, so you're thinking,
hey,
why not plug the phone into the mac's built-in modem port?
Knowing nothing about contemporary macs -- does the same port ever get
used, say, to make your mac a speaker phone, an answering machine, etc?
I would GUESS not (anymore) and if that's the case, there's a 99%
chance
this will not work; that phoneline probably goes directly to a
modem-on-a-chip and whatever A/D is done to transceive modem data is
probably invisible to the system.
I could be wrong though! If you *can* use the modem port to make your
mac
say an answering machine, that implies that the system can read/write
an
audio stream to that plug and your idea is a good one -- as long as
someone wrote software to do it for you... :)
But pending any other ideas I would recommend just buying one of the
phone
tappers, and running into the line/mic in on the Mac...
