I have been looking for a telephone call answering machine program for Linux, but I haven't had much luck. In Windows, I have used CallStation for many years. You can find out more about it at http://imptec.com/callstation.htm and be sure to click the FEATURES and SCREENSHOTS buttons at the top of this link as well for more information.

I am looking for a Linux equivalent of CallStation where calls can be answered or hung-up on, faxes can be received, Caller ID is shown, calls can be recorded in their entirety, etc. Is there anything like this for Linux?

In fact now in Windows (I believe this started with either Windows XP or Vista) calls and recordings can only be recorded for like 55 seconds. I have heard it is because Microsoft changed something with Windows' voice modem support. I am hoping Linux does not suffer from this.

I have a Huawei E303 modem given by a Mobile Broadband Service Provider. I did Pay for it.

I had terminated the service from that service provider. But I cannot use that modem which I did pay to gain because it has been Locked !

Is there an Application in Ubuntu for getting Unlock it ?

Is this having a legal issue ? (If so I will remove this question)

I followed certain guides on certain sites but could not fix this.

Here is the lsusb output. Last one is the particular modem :

I have a Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu 11.10 installed, all works fine. If I connect a wired phone (RJ11) into the RJ11 slot in my laptop and someone calls that phone, is it possible to accept a phone call from within Ubuntu and use the laptop microphone/speakers to communicate?

I'm using Mobile Broadband with the modem HUAWEI K3765 . I have installed the driver from here : http://www.betavine.net/bvportal/resources/datacards/devices .

In the modem's official management application (supporting only Windows OS, not Linux) there is an option for using either an EDGE or 3G connection, depending on the signal strength.

Using this option, the modem defaults to 3G. Only when the signal is low, it automatically connects via EDGE. You can suppress this behavior by choosing the option "Connect via 3G only".

Now I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. As I said I couldn't install the official application, I just installed the mentioned driver. This modem automatically connects via EDGE when 3G signal is low. I want to connect via 3G always, also when the 3G Signal is low.

So what I should do?
