I first tried to find some application that would record my
ISDN-connected phone calls through the ISDN-adapter. No luck this far,
if I do not intend to buy a total new digital telephone switch that
would do it with some add-ons. Seems that there is no much offering to a
single phone line recording task.
Then I thought that maybe I could write one myself if I find some good
ISDN component. Currently I have checked these two tools
www.isdn-objects.de and www.atelierweb.com
The Isdn-Objects VCL looks quite good, and most of the demo applications
work all right. But the demo to record phone conversations does not work
at all, I don't get anything recorded. Also I am not sure if this company
is in business any more. The latest updates on those pages or for the
product are over 12 months old, and they also do not answer e-mails.
The Atelierweb's CapiPro has two versions. The free old ActiveX control
seems to hang every time I test it, with their old readily compiled
demoapp. After freezing the application also refuses to close.
The CapiPro VCL version does not hang, and I have been able to get _one_
phone call recorded, but after that never again. Even I think that I
have tested all the possible setting combinations there are.
There's no technical discussion area, so I'd need to mail this kind
of beginner question to their Technical staff:( My colleague subscribed
to their Mailing List some days ago, but this far no response has come,
nor link to get to old Mail archives or anything. In general I do not
like this kind of covert, and that way often slow product support style.
The price $89 is not very high, if I just knew it works and records all
right.
So, any comments? Has anyone been successful with any of these two
tools, and is able to record the calls to WAV files? Or does anyone know
some other ISDN tools that would do this?
I have no ambition that I specifically would want to write this
ISDN-recording app myself, I just did not find any ready-made tools and
this is where I am now:) I'd still be quite happy even with some
compiled package too.
Thanks for any responses

I have found a project in sourceforge (async professional 4) but it
isn't free. I haven't tested its components but it seems to be good from
what I show in relative documentation. You can test it but I look for
something free because I develop my first professional project and I
don't know yet if it will be successful. So I am thinking to try to sell
a first version without calling recognition and management and if it
will be successful, then I can buy some vcl components and release a
second edition.
I install the NetMod drivers on my pc and tried to use its dlls but no
solution was found. As far as relative hardware is concerned, I have not
searched yet.
In case you find something plz publish it, as it interests me.
I apologize for my English...
Thanks.

I do not get what you mean by discarding the coming phone calls.
CallerId software on ISDN line can of course show the coming call
number, even if you are talking on on one of those two phone lines that
come with one ISDN connection.
But if you see that it is your Mom calling, you usually can not
temporarily pick the other line, talk to your Mom, and after that again
continue on the first call. Even though the two phone lines come out
from one box, they still act like any two separate phone lines.
Well, maybe you could make your app to hang that second phone line, or
send some funny noise if you see that there's IRS calling:) But my
current thought is that ISDN technic itself does bring any more
sophisticated solutions than this one. You probably would need to buy
some kind of digital phone switch or something, and those (maybe) come
with their special software and configuration tools.
My current thought is that I am going to forget to capture and record the
"digital quality ISDN voice". I will just try to find some solution how to
capture the voice at that phase when it is analogig again, between the
phone device and the handset.

I have posted an attachment (async pro 4 licence page 3) where you can
take a glance. The entire document can be downloaded from sourceforge.
I'm not so good in english but I think that the only case I can use
components without pay is when I want to develop a project for myself.
In case I want to develop a commercial project I have to take an
authorization from that company.
Am I right or have I understood wrong?
Thanks.
