This is the ixj driver for Quicknet Internet LineJack and PhoneJack
hardware, ported from Linux.
Hardware can be found at http://www.quicknet.com
Note there is a Linux page where hardware can be purchased
without the Windows drivers at a reduced rate. You can then
use these FreeBSD ixj drivers.
The driver is used by the OpenH323 applications
(ohphone, openam and possibly GnomeMeeting in a future release).
It allows a standard telephone to be plugged into a FreeBSD machine
and used for Voice over IP or Video Conferencing.
When making a call, simply lift the handset and dial.
When receiving a call, your normal telephone actually rings.
In addition the cards support G.723.1 audio compression which
means you can communicate with a wider range of H.323 applications
such as NetMeeting, when using a modem to connect to the internet.
The port was originally made by Devin Butterfield <dbutter@wireless.net>
and is now being maintained by Roger Hardiman <roger@freebsd.org>

Remove expired leaf ports:
2007-07-21 graphics/xpcd: is an abandoned project and might be vulnerable
2007-07-29 comms/ixj: does not work on any supported FreeBSD version
2007-08-19 chinese/emacs20: "editors/emacs is recommended instead for new
installations"
2007-08-22 java/collections: only needed for jdk1.1, which is obsolete
Replace all INSTALL_DATA/INSTALL_SCRIPT and INSTALL_PROGRAM/STRIP=
hacks to install kernel loadable modules correctly on amd64 platforms
with the new INSTALL_KLD command.
All PORTREVISIONS have been bumped to show when the new version of
installing became available.
With portmgr hat on, reset Roger's maintainership of these ports. While
he hopes to get back to FreeBSD work soon, it's probably fairer in the
meantime to see if anyone else who has more time can adopt them.
We only need the kernel source if we compile the port.
This allows the OpenH323 port to fetch the source, patch it
and copy out the required header files.
Add FreeBSD port of the ixj driver for Quicknet LineJack and PhoneJack cards.
These ISA and PCI telephony cards allow VoIP and Video Conferencing using the
OpenH323 suite of applications with a standard telephone handset (including
making the phone ring for incomming calls, allowing dialing via the telephone
and using the phone's speaker and mic for the audio (freeing up the sound
card). They also feature a hardware G.723.1 audio codec making it easier to
talk to NetMeeting and H.323 users.
